Abstract :
As technology is evolving as a driving force in our society, the need for computer programming is arising. However, since most of the computer programming languages are English-based, they can act as barriers for learning computer programming for people who are not adequate in English. In this paper we present a Non-English based educational programming system which was build with the goal to help Bengali speaking people learn and write computer programs in Bengali. We have also discussed how the system was build and why it will be useful for Bengali students to use as a platform to learn computer programming.
