Java Project (Helping Novices understand error messages easier)

835575Jan 31 2011 — edited Mar 31 2011
Hey everyone!

I'm a final year programming student doing a research project on the impact of Java compiler error messages in Natural English, with regards to better diagnosis and rectification for novice Java programmers, who use the command line to compile and execute code.

One part of my project wants me to deploy questionnaires to get feedback on what programmers (especially novices) think about the current error messages, as well as the kinds of errors commonly made by novices.

However I'm having some trouble finding programmers to fill out the questionnaires

I need 50 more respondents, and I was hoping that this forum could be of assistance. It would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the link to the questionnaire: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7HQCHSL

Thanks guys!
