  abstract =     "Students with little or no computer programming
                 experience prior to entering college often have
                 difficulty keeping up with the fast pace of
                 college-level programming courses, even at the
                 introductory level. For the past several years we have
                 developed a curriculum for teaching fundamental
                 language concepts to this population of individuals
                 using the programmable features of a variety of
                 software packages --- thus giving students nontrivial
                 results with relatively little syntactic ``overhead.''
                 These ``pre-programming'' courses prepare students to
                 succeed in subsequent language sequences, or they can
                 serve to provide computer literacy credits for
                 non-technical majors. Here we report on a course
                 designed to exploit students' burgeoning interest in
                 the World Wide Web (WWW), where we used HTML and
                 JavaScript to teach programming concepts. These
                 languages allow students at different skill levels to
                 work side by side, learning common abstract ideas while
                 implementing them at different levels of complexity,
                 motivated by the rewarding and exciting interactive
                 environment of the WWW.",
