Choosing an appropriate language to introduce students to computer programming has been a matter of debate for many years. The choice is arguably more critical in the case of one-year graduate courses, than for students from a non-computing background. Students on these courses are strongly focused towards employment, but the intensive format gives limited time to equip them with the necessary core computing skills. This paper explores an OO-light teaching approach to Java as a first language. This approach has sustained progression rates in large cohorts, and the knowledge of Java accumulated, facilitates progress to useful project work, in the current Web and networks dominated computing climate.
