  • Downloads in 2017 Exceeded 178 Billion and Is Expected to Grow by 45% in 2020
    Chapter 04 Teaching Mobile App Development in a Mass Communication Program by Cindy Royal, Ph.D. For the past two decades, I have taught web design and development courses to journalism and mass communication students. These courses began with covering Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and web animations and have now progressed to include responsive design techniques, front-end frameworks, and customizing content management systems. In 2014, I began teaching a more advanced web development course focused on interactive coding and data visualization. This course introduced JavaScript and charting libraries and presented students with techniques supporting interaction and user-experience design. For years, I had avoided moving into the mobile application space. I had invested a lot of time learning web technologies. I believed in the open Internet and the ability to publish online without the constraint of distribution through application stores. I thought that the mobile application development environment introduced a level of complexity that was beyond the scope of our curriculum. Eventually, I came around to the realization that it was time to introduce students to the ways in which mobile applications are made. The mobile application environment began to grow with the introduction of smartphones in the mid-2000s. In January 2018, 77% of Americans used a smartphone, but for young people aged 18-29, the percentage was 94% [3]. The total number of mobile application downloads in 2017 exceeded 178 billion and is expected to grow by 45% in 2020. [9]. The two most popular application stores, Google Play and the Apple App Store, housed 3.8 million and 2 million apps respectively in 2018 [8].

  • A Study of Online Assessment Tools to Practice Programming and Their Ef- Fect on Students Grades
    Paper ID #24357 2018 ASEE Mid-Atlantic Section Spring Conference: Washington, District of Columbia Apr 6 A Study of Online Assessment Tools to Practice Programming and Their Ef- fect on Students Grades Dr. Jose M Reyes Alamo, CUNY - New York City College of Technology Jose´ M. Reyes Alamo´ did his undergraduate studies in Computer Science at the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamon.´ After graduation he worked in the industry but his strong passion for education and research brought him back to school a year later. He went to Iowa State University (ISU) to pursue his Ph.D. in Computer Science. During his time at ISU he worked in the Smart Home Lab researching topics in Software Engineering, Smart Homes, Pervasive Computing, Formal Methods, and Wireless Sensors. He published several papers and completed his dissertation entitled ”A framework for safe composition of heterogeneous SOA services in a pervasive computing environment with resource constraints”. In ISU he was also involved in several other activities like organizing the GMAP Symposium, participating in student organizations, and working as research assistant. After graduation he worked for a trading software company in New York City but once again his love for academics brought him back, this time as a professor in Computer Engineering Technology at CUNY - New York City College of Technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 A Study of Online Assessment Tools to Practice Programming and Their Effect on Students Grades José M. Reyes Álamo CUNY - New York City College of Technology Abstract “Practice makes perfect” is an old phrase that proves true in many aspects of the life of a computer engineer.

  • Programming Language Use in US Academia and Industry
    Informatics in Education, 2015, Vol. 14, No. 2, 143–160 143 © 2015 Vilnius University DOI: 10.15388/infedu.2015.09 Programming Language Use in US Academia and Industry Latifa BEN ARFA RABAI1, Barry COHEN2, Ali MILI2 1 Institut Superieur de Gestion, Bardo, 2000, Tunisia 2 CCS, NJIT, Newark NJ 07102-1982 USA e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received: July 2014 Abstract. In the same way that natural languages influence and shape the way we think, program- ming languages have a profound impact on the way a programmer analyzes a problem and formu- lates its solution in the form of a program. To the extent that a first programming course is likely to determine the student’s approach to program design, program analysis, and programming meth- odology, the choice of the programming language used in the first programming course is likely to be very important. In this paper, we report on a recent survey we conducted on programming language use in US academic institutions, and discuss the significance of our data by comparison with programming language use in industry. Keywords: programming language use, academic institution, academic trends, programming lan- guage evolution, programming language adoption. 1. Introduction: Programming Language Adoption The process by which organizations and individuals adopt technology trends is complex, as it involves many diverse factors; it is also paradoxical and counter-intuitive, hence difficult to model (Clements, 2006; Warren, 2006; John C, 2006; Leo and Rabkin, 2013; Geoffrey, 2002; Geoffrey, 2002a; Yi, Li and Mili, 2007; Stephen, 2006). This general observation applies to programming languages in particular, where many carefully de- signed languages that have superior technical attributes fail to be widely adopted, while languages that start with modest ambitions and limited scope go on to be widely used in industry and in academia.

  • Understanding the Factors That Impact the Popularity of Github Repositories
    Understanding the Factors that Impact the Popularity of GitHub Repositories Hudson Borges, Andre Hora, Marco Tulio Valente ASERG Group, Department of Computer Science (DCC) Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil E-mail: fhsborges, hora, [email protected] Abstract—Software popularity is a valuable information to developers because they want to know whether their systems modern open source developers, who constantly want to know are attracting new users, whether the new releases are gaining if their systems are attracting new users, if new releases are acceptance, whether their systems are as popular as competitor gaining acceptance, or if they are meeting user’s expectations. In this paper, we describe a study on the popularity of software systems, etc. Unfortunately, we have few studies about the systems hosted at GitHub, which is the world’s largest collection popularity of GitHub systems. The exceptions are probably of open source software. GitHub provides an explicit way for an attempt to differentiate popular and unpopular Python users to manifest their satisfaction with a hosted repository: repositories using machine learning techniques [5] and a the stargazers button. In our study, we reveal the main factors study on the effect of project’s popularity on documentation that impact the number of stars of GitHub projects, including programming language and application domain. We also study quality [6]. By contrast, popularity is extensively studied on the impact of new features on project popularity. Finally, we other social platforms, like YouTube [7], [8] and Twitter [9], identify four main patterns of popularity growth, which are [10]. These studies are mainly conducted to guide content derived after clustering the time series representing the number generators on producing successful social media content.
