Some prospective approaches for the shift of programming paradigms

Abstract

Building information systems (IS) for the communication and distribution of information requires proper approaches. The most suitable programming approach must be applied since all phases of IS development will be affected if the wrong approach is chosen. Programming approaches are also known as programming paradigm (PP)s. The most suitable selection for these various PPs will of course rely on the programmer's decision making and problem solving skills. However, it has been reported that programmers are trained more on the programming language's syntax and semantics rather than the PPs itself. Since each PP is a concept of its own, it could be difficult for some programmers to transition or shift to the next sequence of PP(s). This paper explores some prospective approaches for the shift of PPs and discusses how they could help the shift to the next PPs.
