2004 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages - Human Centric Computing (VLHCC'04)
Rome, Italy

Programming for end users is difficult due to lack of incentive and accessible low barrier tools. We propose to address both of these issues through a community-oriented approach to programming. With millions of users already using instant messaging, it is natural to build a programming environment that leverages the existing community amongst users. Thus we provide an automated agent that users can interact with to learn programming concepts. Through this approach a diverse population will have incentive and no extra required tools to experiment with programming concepts in a communal environment.
