Comment on Programming Paradigms and Beyond [pdf]

Comments

Good read. I feel the title should be "Teaching Programming Paradigms and Beyond" since the text assumes familiarity with complete CS landscape and comments on success of several teaching methods.

I would recommend (also misleadingly titled) talk The Future of Programming by Bret Victor [1] which goes over some groundbreaking paradigms that have since become mostly forgotten.

It's in a Handbook of Computing Education, so everything in the book is about "teaching". It would therefore have been especially odd to put that in the title.
