[IAEP] Fwd: [Edu-sig] Computer Science For Kids Book Announcement
Looks nice :) - Bert - Begin forwarded message: From: Andre Lessa an...@lessaworld.com Date: 19. März 2010 05:28:54 MEZ To: edu-...@python.org Subject: [Edu-sig] Computer Science For Kids Book Announcement Hey Python Community, I just self published this brand new book and I'm making its PDF available for (free) download on my web site. My goal is to explain some very basic fundamentals of computer science to kids who are starting to learn about computers at school and/or at home. For the tiny hints of programming, I referenced Python. If you (or a kid you know) ends up having access to this book, please send your feedback (suggestions/corrections) directly to me so I can start thinking about the next edition and how I can make it even cooler for kids.

Walter, I am looking it over this morning, and seeing how to use it with some of our students. As soon as I have some feedback, I'll send it along.
