Our soft developed for teaching & learning

10

• PascalABC.NET Development Environment• The new generation Pascal programming language that combines the

simplicity of the classic Pascal, Delphi Pascal and a broad capabilities of the Microsoft .NET Framework

• Developed jointly with German programmers • Completely free

• Programming Taskbook• Contains 1100 learning tasks in programming• Displays the task text and random input data on screen• Automatically checks correctness of results of student's program• Provides automatic assessment of results obtained by student's program

• Web Development Environment ProgrammingABC.NET• Provides an opportunity to compile and run programs on C#,

PascalABC.NET, VB.NET, IronPython directly from the browser• Programs run on the server



11

• PascalABC.NET Development Environment• Programming Taskbook• Web Development Environment ProgrammingABC.NET


PascalABC.NET Development Environment

12

• Simple and powerful. Modern language features. • Multiple methods of teaching students and pupils.


PascalABC.NET – styles of programming

Programming Taskbook

16

• Powerful tool for carrying out classes in programming• The student can solve 1100 tasks on programming



17

• 1100 learning tasks cover almost all sections of a basic programming curriculum — from control statements to files and recursive algorithms



18

• The student runs task template…• Reads task…



19

• Reads input data…• Checks correctness of input…



20

• Makes a few mistakes…• Fixes them…



21

• Runs the right solution and … Yippee!• The result of the solved task is now in teacher’s database



22

• Advanced topics such as Binary trees are also presented• If you solved all 1100 tasks – you are a hero! But teacher can develop more

tasks :(



23



Web Development Environment ProgrammingABC.NET

24

• IDE in browser, an analogue of Google Documents


Web Development Environment ProgrammingABC.NET

25

• It’s an IDE in browser, an analogue of Google Documents


WDE ProgrammingABC.NET: Key features

26

• WDE provides an opportunity to compile and run programs on C#, PascalABC.NET, VB.NET, F#, IronPython directly from the browser

• Installation of additional software is not required• Programs run on server !• The registered users are provided a personal

space on server for storage programs• Users can publish references to programs in the

Web development environment• Users can run graphics and animation programs
