Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Early Programming Education Based on Concept Building” by Jiří Vaníček. Abstract: Vaníček’s target article presents a pilot study of an introductory course of programming. In my commentary I argue that teachers will be a key factor of success if the pilot program is implemented in a top-down way. Other important issue are the differentiation between children with different abilities while they go through the tasks, and the continuation of learning programming after the entry-level course.
