Dorn, Brian and Guzdial, Mark (2010): Learning on the job: characterizing the programming knowledge and learning strategies of web designers. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2010 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2010. pp. 703-712.

This paper reports on a study of professional web designers and developers. We provide a detailed characterization of their knowledge of fundamental programming concepts elicited through card sorting. Additionally, we present qualitative findings regarding their motivation to learn new concepts and the learning strategies they employ. We find a high level of recognition of basic concepts, but we identify a number of concepts that they do not fully understand, consider difficult to learn, and use infrequently. We also note that their learning process is motivated by work projects and often follows a pattern of trial and error. We conclude with implications for end-user programming researchers.
