An Investigation into Professional Programmers' Mental Representations of Variables
IWPC '05: Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Program Comprehension

Very little is known about professional programmers' mental representations of variables, yet this information is vital in designing effective tools for program comprehension. In order to find out what types of information programmers have about ...
Mental representations of expert procedural and object-oriented programmers in a software maintenance task

This study examines the mental representations formed during program comprehension and maintenance by procedural and object-oriented (OO) experts. The programmer's mental representation reflects comprehension of a program and guides tasks carried out on ...
ITS professional development: refine, reward, retain
SIGUCCS '01: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services

Within Information Technology Services (ITS) Division at Saint Louis University, professional development (PD) serves as the bridge where prospective and current ITS employees are now, and where they will need to be in order to meet the new challenges ...
