“…Generic purpose programming languages are however known to be less adapted to novice programmers [2]. Java programs must for example use public static void main(String[] args) as an entry point, exposing beginners to advanced notions on day one [13].

The Programmer's Learning Machine (PLM) is an interactive exerciser for learning programming and algorithms. Using an integrated and graphical environment that provides a short feedback loop, it allows students to learn in a (semi)-autonomous way. This generic platform also enables teachers to create specific programming microworlds that match their teaching goals. This paper discusses our design goals and motivations, introduces the existing material and the proposed microworlds, and details the typical use cases from the student and teacher point of views.
