First Language Survey

In 1998 we carried out a survey of 6 New Zealand Universities and 20 Australian Universities to ask the following questions:

• what introductory programming language was currently taught
• the reasons for the choice of that language

Many thanks to everyone who responded.

The summary of responses contains links to each university's comments, or you can go directly to the file of all the comments here.
