Quantitative Comparison by the Function Point of Beginner's Programming Ability in the Animation Creation

In general, it is said that "Between an excellent programmer and an unskilled programmer, there is a great difference in software productivity." However, there are few reports mentioned about productivity by the programming beginners. For programming beginners, we have problems as what kind of programming material is better to learn and to keep interest in computer software seminar. We investigated animation programs that beginners made during the six years in the programming seminar classes. Then, the function point of the animation created by students are evaluated and discussed about comparison of their programming ability.
