Abstract
A development of algorithms and writing of programs are considered as closely related but not identical parts of computer programming. Some differences between them are important for learning of computer programming, in particular, in distance learning. These differences are identified and discussed from the pedagogical point of view. The arguments for the selection of pedagogical based and cost-effective delivery modes in the case of distance learning are investigated. Practical examples supporting theoretical arguments are given on the activities of Lithuanian schools.

Abstract
The existing decomposition technology of cooperative developments of multidiscipline technical complexes (MTC) don't provide global optimality die to the imposiolity of solving the problem of developing principles of local project solutions made by a dreat number of specialists of different branches of science. This problem is supposed to be solved by means of controlling of real-time of MTC space structural-parametric synthesis in terms of hierarchically organized variety of assumed scheme-structural and technological solutions. The basis algorithm: 1) realization method for a variety of possible structural organizations of a complex technical system in the form of a network analyzer; 2) method combining synthesis combinatorial operations and parametric operations in search for short routes of the developed network analyzer.
The algorithm eliminates the necessity for parametric optimization in macroparameters of all possible structural realizations of a complex systemleaving the best variant optimization.

Abstract
The role of an interface between an algorithm and its environment for school students is discussed. The motivation of the use of Pascal functions and procedures instead of commonly used programs in the first lessons of programming is presented. The main features of an interpreter of algorithms (Pascal functions and procedures) implemented on school computer are presented.
