Yet, CS majors can encounter programming as a barrier and in many casesleave the field altogether. The learning process that CS majors encounter while developing theirprogramming skills is multifaceted. They are expected to: 1) grasp necessary programmingconcepts, paradigms, and data structures, 2) become adept with employing the appropriate syntaxand semantics for a given programming language used for code
