Abstract

This paper studies the languages used in introductory programming courses by all the computer science programs in the California Community College system for the calendar year 2012. Most colleges offer a single language (82%) using the face-to-face modality (73%) with C++ (48% of total sections offered) as their instructional language. Other instructional languages and percent using them are Java (31%), C (9%), BASIC (8%), and Others (4%). Comparing these use patterns to other language adoption studies shows that the California Community College system differs from most other institutions in its choice of C++ over Java.
