Summary
This six-chapter supplementary text uses Alice, a three-dimensional virtual reality authoring system, to make programming easy and fun for the novice programmer. Alice was developed to help teach introductory programming techniques in a less syntax-intensive environment, and addresses some of the barriers that currently prevent many users from successfully learning to program. By introducing core programming topics such as objects, methods, and variables within the context of the Alice environment, users will be motivated to continue their studies in programming.
