Abstract
After sketching the basic concepts of informatics, a schedule is presented that allows the teaching of these concepts using current technology. Throughout the course, the usage of formalized notations for the specification and the solution of problems is emphasized. The work in the computer labs includes applications of standard software as well as problem solving using HyperCard and Object-Pascal. Even with inexperienced students, object-oriented programming has proved to be a perfect means for design and implementation.
