Programming at the end of the learning curve: Lisp scripting for image processing

摘要

An image processing environment for students of information technology is presented in which programming is an ultimate objective. Our system offers a gentle entry into programming, and we argue that the manner in which programming is introduced is more important for learners than the speck syntax of the language. The environment and its student activities expose successively more sophisticated functionality that culminates in scripting using Lisp.
