Why do they foster some students' commitment to the subject while they deter others? By using a qualitative research approach we observed that computing experiences have impacts on several dimensions: They affect the self-image with regard to computing, the world-image with regard to conceptions of the subject, and habits in computing. We determined different perceptions of computing (summarized as: use, professional use and design), which together with attitudes (attributions and concepts) of the field enable or inhibit pathways into the field. %@ 978-1-59593-841-1
