Abstract
The nearly three dozen core technologies of computing sit in a
simple framework defined by great principles and by computing
practices. The great principles are of two kinds, mechanics and
design. Computing mechanics comprises computation,
communication, coordination, recollection, and automation. Design
principles address concerns for complexity, resilience, performance,
evolvability, and security. Practices comprise programming,
systems, modeling, innovating, and applying. This framework
opens many new possibilities for teaching computer science,
including new approaches to programming. The new CS curriculum
at the Naval Postgraduate School is based on the framework
presented here.
