abstract = "Programming is traditionally taught using a bottom-up
approach, where details of syntax and implementation of
data structures are the predominant concepts. The
top-down approach proposed focuses instead on
understanding the abstractions represented by the
classical data structures without regard to their
physical implementation. Only after the students are
comfortable with the behavior and applications of the
major data structures do they learn about their
implementations or the basic data types like arrays and
pointers that are used. This paper discusses the
benefits of such an approach and how it is being used
in a Computer Science curriculum.",
