Abstract

This paper discusses the pilot testing and evaluation of a database-driven web-based programming environment called WIPE (Web Integrated Programming Environment). WIPE is a teaching tool for secondary education students that are introduced to the principles of programming. The programming environment was used in secondary schools in Greece and the results of its evaluation demonstrate that it successfully deals with the difficulties novices meet.
