About this title

Synopsis:

Alice: An Introduction to Programming Using Alice is designed to make learning programming easy for the novice user, with the help of Alice. Object-oriented programming can be much more challenging to learn than traditional programming. Alice is a software tool that was developed to help teach object-oriented programming in a less syntax-intensive and highly motivating environment. It addresses some of the barriers that currently prevent many students from successfully learning to program.
