We describe an attempt to bridge the gap between educational research and practical innovation by making a package of changes to an introductory programming module based on the insights of existing theoretical work. Theoretical principles are described, used to evaluate previous practices and then employed to guide systematic changes. Preliminary evaluation indicates substantial improvements in student performance and enjoyment while indicating areas in need of further work.
