Product Review
I cannot tell you enough how much your book has influenced my teaching. It makes everything that I have learned in computing as well as everything that I wish to teach highly structured and meaningful (every day that I am in class). In my opinion you have really captured the essence of a style of teaching that can make an enormous difference to how students learn. I hope to be using this approach for a long time to come.Mike ArsenaultLakefield College School
Product Description
Java: Learning to Program with Robots is an innovative approach to teaching and learning introductory object-oriented programming. Students are introduced to object-oriented concepts with simulated robots, a hands-on approach that is engaging and fun for both students and instructors. Robots are used to lay a solid object-oriented foundation upon which students build an in-depth understanding of programming concepts using a wide range of non-robotic examples. The robots approach has been successfully used for nearly six years at the University of Waterloo and has introduced more than 6,000 students to OO programming using Java.
