Learning to Program with Alice, 2/e (IEPaperback)

<內容簡介>
Appropriate for all one-semester pre-CS1 and computer literacy courses, and for integration into the first weeks of many introductory CS1 courses.

Alice was designed to make programming concepts easier to teach and learn. In the Second Edition of Learning to Program with Alice, Alice's creators offer a complete full-color introduction to the interactive Alice 2.2 programming environment. The authors make extensive use of program visualization to establish an easy, intuitive relationship between program constructs and the 3D graphics animation action in Alice. Students discover how Alice blends traditional problem-solving techniques with Hollywood-style storyboarding. Fundamental object-oriented programming concepts and language syntax are taught independently. Programming concepts can be taught from either an objects-first or an objects-early approach, with an optional early introduction to events. The book's Java-like syntax allows students to view their program code, simplifying their transitions to Java, C++, C#, or other object-oriented languages. This new edition even allows students to upload their animated programs onto YouTube and share their work on the Web.

《學習使用Alice程式設計》第二版是一本適合所有一學期的預備CS1和電腦素養課程的書籍，也適合整合到許多入門CS1課程的前幾週。本書的目的是讓程式設計概念更容易教授和學習。在這本全彩色的書中，Alice的創作者們提供了對互動式Alice 2.2程式設計環境的完整介紹。作者們廣泛使用程式視覺化來建立程式結構和Alice中的3D圖形動畫之間的直觀關係。學生們將發現Alice如何將傳統的問題解決技巧與好萊塢風格的故事板結合起來。本書獨立地教授基本的物件導向程式設計概念和語言語法。程式設計概念可以從物件優先或早期物件方法來教授，並可選擇提前介紹事件。本書的類似Java的語法使學生能夠查看他們的程式碼，簡化他們轉向Java、C++、C#或其他物件導向語言的過渡。這個新版本甚至允許學生將他們的動畫程式上傳到YouTube並在網上分享他們的作品。
