UPDATED! A highly interactive text teaches through hands-on examples

• Examples have been added to the text that allow students to practice programming in an enjoyable, engaging fashion, such as:
  • Chapter 1: Leaves and Wombats introduces some important object-oriented concepts and Greenfoot interactions early on in the text.
  • Chapter 6: Newtons Lab is a simulation of the motion of stars and planets in space that teaches the concept of gravity.
  • Chapter 10 has a variety of new examples that intend to inspire further projects, such as:
    • Lifts is a start of lifts simulation that can be continued into its own project.
    • Boids is a demo showing fl³q
