Siegfried, Robert M.; Siegfried, Jason P.; Alexandro, Gina – Information Systems Education Journal, 2016
Throughout the 1990s, Richard Reid of Michigan State University maintained a list showing the first programming language used in introductory programming courses taken by computer science and information systems majors; it was updated for several years afterwards with the most recent update done in 2011. This is a follow-up to that last update of…
