Abstract: The objective of this project is to create a computer programming language designed to be used to teach modern computer science students in introductory programming courses.  The project will provide compilers for the language which produce so-called bytecode execution on the Java Virtual machine as well as a compiler whose target is ANSI standard C for native portability to a wide variety of environments.
