Abstract

A unique combination of properties makes the Oberon family of languages an ideal platform for algorithm design work in computational sciences as well as for a systematic general programming education. The project Informatika-21 builds on the strong Pascal tradition in Russia and purports to promulgate Oberon in Russian education with an ultimate goal to establish a system under which high school and university students would be universally and systematically exposed to the fundamentals of programming similarly to how they are exposed in Russia to the fundamentals of mathematics.
