Soloway, E., "Learning to program = Learning to construct mechanisms and explanations.", Communications of the ACM, 29, 9, pp. 850-858, September 1986. Google
850 ;;Quote: a program has two audiences: the computer for which it is a mechanism, and the human reader for which it is an explanation
851 ;;Quote: learning to program is learning how to construct mechanisms and explanations
851 ;;Quote: an introductory programming course should make explicit the implicit knowledge of experts
851 ;;Quote: the basic building blocks for programming include stereotypical goals and plans; like pseudocode
853+ ;;Quote: the name of a stereotypical program plan is an explicit label for a structure that will be used repeatedly
853 ;;Quote: Soloway's group build a library of plans; used to teach introductory programming
855 ;;Quote: part of stepwise refinement is using subproblems for which you already have canned solutions
856 ;;Quote: plans for programming can be sequenced, nested, merged or tailored
856 ;;Quote: plans for programming are difficult to merge effectively; novices almost always make mistakes
