TEACH YOURSELF LOGO! The new computer language Logo is becoming ever more popular. It is very clear and straightforward with very many powerful features, and is being used increasingly in schools. Many parents, for example, are finding that their children are using Turtle Graphics at school, and want to find out more. Others will have read about Logo: computer magazines recently have had a spate of articles about Logo, at a very superficial level. There will be computer hobbyists who may want to try out Logo on their own computer; they will want to know what Logo is, and how to evaluate commercial offerings. They will need an annotated guide to various versions for more common microcomputers. This book explains the philosophy behind Logo and why it is different from many other languages such as BASIC. It shows you how to program in Logo, with many useful examples, and explains Turtle Graphics and other applications in detail. You are also shown what versions of Logo are available and what to look for in making a suitable choice. |
