Zusammenfassung:Teaching a new programming language in CS1 requires the instructor to make several important decisions regarding sequencing of topics. In teaching Java, the basic decisions center around how to perform input and output, when to teach the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) and threads, whether to begin with applets or applications, and how much detail about object-oriented programming and Java language features is required in the beginning. This paper describes a "language features gently" approach to teaching CS1 in Java.
