Abstract

The teaching of programming to young adults and college students is seen as a highly technical area of study, which has usually attracted in the past students whose interests lie in fields such as Mathematics and Computer Science. However, as the importance of computers in many fields has increased so has the desire to learn computer programming by more and more students even though they are fields that are unrelated. This project Demosthenes attempts to create an online tool that allows students to learn programming from the web.
