  abstract =     "When studying a programming language for the first
                 time, the majority of student errors fall into broad
                 (and well-documented) categories [3]. This paper aims
                 to investigate errors made by first year students in
                 Blue: A new, object-oriented language specifically
                 designed at the University of Sydney for teaching
                 novice students [2].These errors were investigated by a
                 survey delivered over the World-Wide Web and consisting
                 of multiple choice and free-form short-answer
                 questions. The results of the survey suggest that a
                 student who learns with Blue is no more likely to make
                 errors that are commonly made by novice programmers,
                 although is not necessarily better equipped to design
                 and write code in an object-oriented paradigm. More
                 research is indicated to make statements about the
                 latter.",
