JJ is a new programming language designed for beginners,
and
JJ is also an online environment for learning programming.
JJ gets it name from both Java and Junior, but
JJ is going beyond a Junior version of Java.
JJ provides the basic principles of programming
without the many distracting details of a "real"
industrial-strength language.
JJ is like a pseudo-code;
to promote thinking and problem-solving
rather than syntax and strange characters.
JJ is easy to read and also easy to write.
JJ is intended for about the first half of a programming course.
JJ easily extends to Java by a quick line-by-line conversion.
but
JJ can also extend to others such as C, C++, Ada, Fortran, Eiffel.
JJ teaches numerous paradigms:
COP: control oriented (procedural),
DOP: data oriented (both data-flow and data-space),
OOP: object oriented,
SOP: state oriented, and others.
JJ is an art, a science, a craft, and more.
