Introductory computing construct use in an end-user programming community

Previous studies of end-user programmers have indi-cated a reliance on related examples for learning. Ac-cordingly, we analyzed the projects contained in an on-line community with respect to their use of introductory computing constructs. In general, the projects resemble those of novice programmers, implying the opportunity for supporting additional learning. Project authors ’ at-tention to matters of intellectual property may also di-rectly impact other end-users ’ willingness to learn. 1
