\"Title<\/p>\n

I recently gave a talk, titled “Eight tips for teaching programming to novices<\/strong>“, which presented my recommendations of programming teaching practices I posted here some time ago.<\/p>\n

In this talk, I did not only present and explain the tips themselves, but I presented concrete examples of what these tips mean, and how you could enact them with actual programming projects or assignments.<\/p>\n
