EIA - 0312668Mary Beth RossonInstitution: Virginia Polytechnic InstituteTitle: Web Development by NonprogrammersThis ITR small award provides support to study web development by nonprogrammers and to develop and evaluate a web development tool for nonprogrammers. Particular emphasis in the evaluation is placed on determination of differences as a function of gender including an analysis of gender related characteristics of user needs and expectations for end-user programming and an assessment of the extent to which males and females respond to the end-user programming tools that are developed. Pilot studies have shown that substantial numbers of workers without programming skills are involved in web-based development and that many of the nonprogrammers are limited by the difficulties inherent in interactive web development. This project addresses this situation by analyzing nonprogrammers' needs and expectations and then developing and evaluating a web development tool for nonprogrammers in which construction and the use of the web application are interleaved and seamless. The intellectual merit of this project lies in its sound conceptual basis and its focus on nonprogrammers rather than the more prevalent analyses and tools that are oriented towards programmers. The investigators have a solid track record with significant prior work on which to build this study. The most important results may be the research findings that characterize needs and use patterns of the non-programmer user groups for developers and project managers. The evaluative research and the resulting tools have the potential to inform or influence the development of new commercial products oriented towards the non-programmer user class.The project has broader impacts in many areas beyond the transferability to commercial product development. The studies on gender differences in needs and tool use are fundamental to providing workplace support for a large sector of the workforce. Many non-programmers are routinely required to participate in projects with web development components. This research could lead to the development of tools and workplace environments that are more inclusive of individuals without significant programming expertise. This would allow a broader sector of the population to contribute their expertise and visions in meaningful ways through web media as productive members of the workforce. This project addresses a problem and area of real need. Currently there are few tools geared towards nonprogrammers despite the growing demand for them by many sectors of the workforce. The research should show developers how nonprogrammers think and operate and thus help them optimize tools to support this sector of the workforce.

EIA -0312668 Mary Beth Rosson机构：弗吉尼亚理工学院标题：非程序员的Web开发这个ITR小型奖项为非程序员的Web开发研究提供支持，并为非程序员开发和评估Web开发工具。评价的特别重点是确定性别差异，包括分析与性别有关的用户需求特点和对最终用户方案编制的期望，以及评估男性和女性对所开发的最终用户方案编制工具的反应程度。试点研究表明，大量没有编程技能的工人参与基于Web的开发，许多非程序员受到交互式Web开发固有困难的限制。 这个项目通过分析非程序员的需求和期望，然后开发和评估一个非程序员的Web开发工具，其中Web应用程序的构建和使用是交错和无缝的，来解决这种情况。这个项目的智力价值在于其良好的概念基础和它对非程序员的关注，而不是面向程序员的更流行的分析和工具。研究人员有一个坚实的跟踪记录，在此基础上建立这项研究的重要先前工作。最重要的结果可能是研究结果的特点，开发人员和项目经理的非程序员用户群的需求和使用模式。评估性研究和由此产生的工具有可能为面向非程序员用户类别的新商业产品的开发提供信息或影响。该项目在许多领域具有更广泛的影响，超出了商业产品开发的可转移性。关于需求和工具使用方面的性别差异的研究对于为大部分劳动力提供工作场所支持至关重要。许多非程序员经常需要参与Web开发组件的项目。这项研究可能会导致工具和工作环境的开发，这些工具和工作环境对没有重要编程专业知识的个人更具包容性。这将使更多的人能够通过网络媒体，作为劳动力中的生产性成员，以有意义的方式贡献他们的专门知识和愿景。 这个项目解决了一个问题和真实的需要领域。目前，面向非程序员的工具很少，尽管劳动力的许多部门对它们的需求不断增长。这项研究应该向开发人员展示非程序员如何思考和操作，从而帮助他们优化工具，以支持这部分劳动力。
