Editorial Review:

This updated guide supports an innovative approach to fundamental programming concepts. The authors use program visualization to create an easy relationship between program construct and the animation action in a 3D world. For consistency with Java, C++, and other commonly used languages, "questions" are now "functions." Save and reload bugs have been fixed. Fonts can be scaled larger or smaller. High contrast mode is available for projection in the classroom. A useful how-to guide for programmers interested in learning Alice.

great buy:

Good price and book was delivered promptly and in good condition. Would recommend others to purchase from seller.

great book & service:

Book was delivered quickly & in great shape. While others in my classes were still waiting to get thier book, from the book store on the first day; I had my a week before class & was ready to get started. Thank you for your great service.

Should be required reading for every person teaching computer science:

Since I first saw Alice demonstrated at a small college computer conference, I have remained convinced how innovative it is. Using the pre-existing objects a novice needs only a bit of direction in order to create functioning programs that generate animation. When I obtained a copy of this book I immediately started reading it and working through the programs. The Alice environment is very easy to use, there were very few times when I had to ponder my next move or consult the help.
