I'm curious to hear more about what distinguishes learning to program in a "purpose-first programming" approach. This sounds really similar to constructionist learning ideas that Seymour Papert espoused. Remember Logo? That's Seymour Papert. His paper "What's the big idea? Toward a pedagogy of idea power" is a good place to start that straddles the line between concrete and conceptual.
