Rethinking How to Teach Programming in the Agentic AI Era

Original: Teaching Novice Computing and Programming in the Agentic AI Era

Communications of the ACM has published a piece examining how computing education should change as AI agents become capable of writing code themselves. The article argues that introductory programming courses can no longer assume students must master syntax and debugging the same way, and explores what foundational skills novices will need when AI tools routinely generate and modify code for them.

Why now: Educators are actively debating how generative and agentic AI tools are upending traditional introductory computer science teaching.
