Book Description: Programming doesn’t have to be dry and boring. This book teaches programming in an interactive and engaging way that is technically relevant and highly motivational. Using the Greenfoot environment, and an extensive collection of compelling example projects, readers are given a unique, graphical framework in which to learn programming. Greenfoot--an award-winning educational programming environment that uses simulations and games to teach programming skills--is closely integrated into the text, with numerous screenshots and tips, making the book ideal for both instructor-led and independent learning. The projects discussed in this book are easy enough that high school students can manage them, but they are also open and extendable enough that even seasoned programmers can find interesting and challenging aspects to do.
