Computer Science Pure and Simple Book 2 with MicroWorlds 2.0 CD-ROM

by Phyllis Wheeler

Computer Science Pure and Simple Book 2 has a detailed listing of its own at Amazon. You will need to look at that listing as well. This listing includes the book and also its required companion, MicroWorlds 2.0 CD-ROM by LCSI, licensed for single home use only. (Schools and computer labs must look elsewhere for a copy of MicroWorlds, licensed for school or lab use.) MicroWorlds Logo has enchanted kids for a generation, many of whom grew up to become programmers. A turtle on the screen follows your turn left! turn right! put your pen down! go forward 10 steps! The turtle draws simple or complex constructions and makes animations. The Logo language contains structures common to all computer languages, including variables, procedures/functions, and looping. So it is an ideal tool to introduce kids to programming! For Windows 95 and up, and Macintosh. The book can be adapted for Mac with PC emulator.
