Abstract
In 1966, the first IBM 360/ computer came to the Goddard Space Flight Center, and our experience with large-scale programmer development began. Considerable attention has been given to the training problem at GSFC. Our arsenal of programmer training tools and techniques now ranges from relatively informal on-the-job experience through in-house formal courses to university and commercial highly specialized courses. GSFC has made extensive use of software and hardware evaluation techniques to indicate areas for improving computation efficiency and has pioneered automated proramming techniques. The training and evaluation activities are described including organizational and communications concerns. Results of these activities are described providing numerous examples of the tangible improvements obtained by increasing the effectiveness of computation activities.
