	Mini-languages: A Way to Learn Programming Principles
		Since general-purpose programming languages are oriented on number and symbol processing, the first possible problems used in teaching the language are far from the students' everyday experience and are not attractive for them.
		Josef was designed at the same time as Karel and its philosophy is a combination of Logo and the ideas used in Karel namely the idea of a rich microworld of Logo and the idea of preparing the user for programming constructs of conventional languages as in Karel.
		The program should typically be executed one instruction at a time, while the interpreter highlights programming constructs in the source code as they are being executed and the effect is simultaneously shown in the microworld.

		Karel is a simulated programming environment that has been used since 1981 to introduce and teach the basic principles and structures of programming.
		Karel++ is an update that brought this environment into the world of object-oriented programming.
		Karel is a "robot" that lives in a two-dimensional world that can be traveled through and manipulated under the direction of programs written in the "robot language" (similar in syntax to C++ and Java).

		Karel has a backpack, in which he can keep any number of beepers that can also be placed on free (non-wall) city cells.
		Execution of the last END statement at the end of the program body – it is required to stop the program execution using the TURNOFF instruction.

	Why We Program Karel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Programming a computer in a language like Pascal requires precise sequencing of steps, one after the other, choosing which steps to follow in certain cases, and controlling the repetition of certain steps, in the process of solving a problem.
		Karel is a teaching tool that presents the concepts in a visual way, that is less abstract than programming in Pascal.
		Karel the Robot was introduced by Richard Pattis in his book Karel the Robot: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Programming with Pascal, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1981.

		Karel is an unknown distance from the southern boundary wall.
		Karel is required to make the inner test, frontIsClear, which is true and moves one block forward away from the beeper.
		Karel must decide which room is the safe room, enter it and pick all of the beepers.

		Karel does not know how high the walls are, but he knows there are two and at the bottom of the last wall there is a beeper which he picks up and then turnsoff.
		Karel may or may not be initially on a beeper.
		This command should allow Karel to continue to Move until he gets to a wall (Think Looping statement) 7.Now use those two new commands with other primitives to write a program for Karel that has exactly two walls, but they are at unknown distances between them and are of unknown height and unknown width.

	Karel The Robot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		It was a little programming environment where you controlled a robot's motion through a maze of walls and beepers.
		The language to control Karel was a very scaled-down procedural programming language, which had the unique feature of having no variables.
		A little bit of etymology: Karel is the first name of Karel Capek, the author of R.U.R.: (Rossum's Universal Robots) [ISBN 0887347991 ], which invented the term "robot." In, there are android slaves called "robots," which comes from the Czech word robota = compulsory labor.

	Bob Walton's New Programming Language
		The main goal of this language is to be usable by commercial programmers, while being accessible to average high school students, who should be able to modify and augment parts of programs written in the language.
		The second effort to define the new language centered on trying to teach students who had difficulties learning to program, in order to find out at least roughly what programming language features would and would not work with the high schoolers for whom the new language was in part intended.
		The mechanism here was to teach introductory programming at Suffolk University for a few years, and to write a textbook, or rather a series of revisions of a textbook, and to develop companion programming environments.

	The Absynt Project: Semantics Directed Language Implementation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		To describe the structure of a language and to manipulate programs and program fragments in that language as basic data objects, the Absynt metaprogramming language has been designed.
		The program to be compiled is represented according to its abstract syntax (this means without all details needed to write the program down, according to the concrete syntax).
		One level is related to the abstract-syntax-oriented way of describing language processing tools, resulting in a modularization of the programming language definition.

		In taking "An Introduction to Programming," taught by Owen Astrachan, he encountered the Karel Programming Language.
		That way, Karel could then be used as an educational tool as well as a programming project.

	JOT: Journal of Object Technology - Message Oriented Programming, Dave Thomas
		One of the major challenges in the design and implementation of a programming language is the consistent definition and treatment of the major concepts in the language.
		A language concept is called “first class”1 when it can be used freely in the programs in all contexts in which this would be reasonable.
		C# iterators provide a language mechanism which is extensible in that it provides a means for dealing with the common case of sequencing through a collection of objects and applying a function to the contents of the collection.

		An excellent method for introducing students to computer programming is described by Richard E. Pattis in his book Karel the Robot.
		By initially limiting the student's language repertoire to easily grasped imperative commands whose actions are visually displayed, the Karel approach quickly introduces students to such concepts as procedures and the major control structures.
		Although originally based on Pascal, the Karel approach has been used successfully with several different computer programming languages.
