On the Nature of Programming
Mark Guzdial's Amazon Blog: What makes programming so hard? Permalink
One of most persistent questions in computing education is the reason for the 20% Rule. In every introduction to programming course, 20% of the students just get it effortlessly -- you could lock them in a dimly lit closet with a reference manual, and they'd still figure out how to program. 20% of the class never seems to get it. Why is that?You don't really want me to answer that, do you?
