In the spring of 2004, 351 faculty members responded to a survey concerning the content and topic emphasis in the first course in computing. The survey targeted two different groups of faculty, one SIGCSE members and the other faculty who had contacted a medium-sized publisher of Computer Science textbooks. The questions fell into five categories: design methodology, general programming issues, object-oriented issues, software engineering issues, and other topics. The results are analyzed and, where possible, some conclusions are drawn.
