Abstract:: Although spreadsheets can be argued to be the most widely-used visual programming languages (VPLs) today, most are very limited compared to other VPLs, supporting only p few built-in types and offering only primitive support for code reuse. The inheritance mechanisms of object-oriented programming might seem to offer help for the...

Abstract:: Although spreadsheets can be argued to be the most widely-used end-user programming languages today, they are very limited compared to other programming languages, supporting only a few built-in types and offering only primitive support for code reuse. The inheritance mechanisms of object-oriented programming might seem to offer help for the...

Creator:: Atwood, John Wesley, Jr., Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Walpole, Rebecca A., Wilcox, E. M., Yang, Sherry, and Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science
Abstract:: Despite years of research into human computer interaction (HCI), the environments programmers must use for problem-solving today—with separate modes and tools for writing, compiling, testing, visualizing, and debugging— derive their basic structure from historical accident, and take little advantage of HCI research into the cognitive issues of programming. Neglecting these...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Tan, Flora Mei Ling, and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-
Abstract:: ExcelForms is a front end Excel-based application that supports Forms/3, a research language based on the spreadsheet paradigm, end-user software engineering features. The old implementation of ExcelForms performed poorly, and was considered unstable, not robust, and not scalable enough for our users' needs. This project addresses these issues by implementing...
