Ricart, et el. (2013)14 note the impact of this threat and writes: “According to a 2011 study by Internet security firm Check Point, 48% of the largest international organizations have experienced 25 or more social engineering attacks in the two years before the study, costing the organizations from US$25,000 to US$100,000 per incident.

These programs should ensure that the activities employedwill engage the interest of participants and spark a desire to learn more. Programming is anessential skill of most, if not all, computing programs, yet it is also a subject that tends to makestudents shy away from the discipline. By selecting tools that make the value of programmingobvious, and the process of learning

Barriers tosuccess include a good understanding of programming concepts and the ability to apply thoseconcepts to write viable computer programs.In this paper, we analyze the determinants of the transition from concepts to skills in computerprogramming courses using factor and cluster analysis. The purpose of this study is to answer thefollowing questions related to computer programming teaching and learning: 1) Which are thecorrelations and interdependencies in student understanding of different computer programmingconcepts?; 2) Which are the cognitive challenges that students find when learning
