Abstract

Traditionally the teaching of programming is done by the usage of industrial tools (full blown IDE's), this paper will present the current development status of Botbeans, a visual programming language and tool that will enable its users to see the results of their programming in a tangible interface, where a robot (Lego Mindstorms NXT) will show the results of its programming while interacting with the real world.
