Kids will be resistant for two reasons: no more turtle (DRAW is similar, see the Graphics chapter), and the fact that it's a new language. * QBASIC - QBASIC is more like conventional programming languages than Logo, so before getting too deep into Logo, it's a good idea to switch to QBASIC. Very young kids can have a lot of fun with Logo. You'll be surprised how much they'll learn. You can walk kids through all this step by step. * Logo - Teach FORWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, TO, REPEAT. I would suggest a course of study like this: After becoming proficient in QBASIC, one can move on to more powerful languages like Visual Basic, Java, C, and eventually C++. With the information acquired from this book, one can move on to a more advanced QBASIC book (if you can find one). It had line numbers and didn't teach good structured programming habits. ![]() When I was a kid, all we had was the "old BASIC". It may not seem that way at times, but it is true. ![]() ![]() The computer will do whatever it is told. They also like to create, and to have some control over the world around them.
