The materials for the entire project are archived at
here.
The curriculum for HtDC has been under development since 2002.
It has been
used in classrooms at Northeastern University, University of Utah, University of Waterloo,
University of Chicago, and at several high schools.
Below are links to the course web sites for Northeastern University courses. The assignments and the
lab materials provide a comprehensive view of the project direction. However, as the text and the curriculum
is still under development, the manner and the order in which various topics are presented will change.

Designing Programs --- Understanding Data
invited lecture presented on November 17, 2006 at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY.
Design of Class Hierarchies: An Introduction to OO Program Design
summarizes the key ideas of the HtDCH curriculum and
the ProfessorJ languages. It was presented on March 3, 2006 at the SIGCSE 2006
conference in Houston, TX. Slides in PDF
An unpublished version
of this paper was presented at the Ninth Workshop on Pedagogies
and Tools for the Teaching and Learning of Object Oriented Concepts held at
ECOOP 2005.
The
Calculator Problem and the Design Recipe paper illustrates a student's
experience with using
the design recipe. The column was written in response to
a column by Carl Alphonce:
Pedagogy and Practice of Design Patterns and Objects First:
