When programmers use an API, they play the role of a “software user”. As the quality of use of programs and systems affects productivity, more attention has been paid to API usability issues. This work focuses on another dimension of the quality of use, “communicability”, which is characteristic of a semiotic approach. The paper presents a Semiotic Engineering study on the communicability of APIs...
End-User Development (EUD) has been identified as one approach to address some of the challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT) by enabling people to configure technology to their specific needs and preferences. For this potential to be realized, end-users need appropriate tools to support them and, in order to build such tools, developers need a deeper understanding of what EUD for IoT really means...
Using game design and programming to foster computational thinking acquisition has proved to be a successful strategy in recent years. In previous research with AgentSheets, we concluded that the semiotic richness of this visual programming environment, specifically designed to support computational thinking acquisition, could be explored more extensively to the benefit of learners. In particular,...
