  abstract =     "Whilst there has been much discussion of Java as a
                 first programming language, JavaScript has been
                 comparatively ignored. This paper argues the merits of
                 JavaScript as a first programming language for
                 Multimedia students. It then describes the content of
                 modules that use this approach, and reports experiences
                 and findings on first delivery. As a result of positive
                 experiences we are now planning to use JavaScript as
                 precursor to Java for mainstream Computing students.",
