A low overhead automated service for teaching programming

Programming is a skill that often demands that students engage in a significantly high amount of individual practice and experimentation in order to acquire basic competence. Teachers are required to both encourage students by exposing them to numerous problems and supervise the students' attempts to solve them. To support this teaching approach we developed a web service called Projekt Tomo , presented in the article. The service is designed in such a way that it requires little or no additional work from students and teachers, enabling them to focus on the content. Furthermore, the service can be used in almost all teaching environments, as it can be adapted to most programming languages and has minor technical requirements.
