&
Pages 271-295 | Published online: 03 Aug 2006
 

This article identifies strengths and weaknesses in the introductory course sequence in computing,Footnote 1 and proposes an alternative sequence using a “breadth‐first” approach. This approach integrates theoretical material, includes scheduled laboratory work, and covers a broad range of subject matter in the discipline of computing. We also summarize our early experience teaching the first course in this sequence.
