● Alice was designed to interest and teach
children/young adults programming.
● Teach theory, not language. Java
language in background.
● Visual object-based programming
language.
● Computer animations that can be
interactive.
● Drag-and-drop environment.
● Java Example…
Programming with Alice
public class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");}

Programming with Alice - Class Overview
The document outlines a beginner-level class called 'Programming with Alice' designed to teach programming concepts using a visual object-based programming language. It emphasizes the importance of a supportive learning environment and provides an overview of programming, including pseudocode as an essential planning step. The course aims to engage students by using interactive computer animations and simple programming tasks.

- 4. What is Programming? 4 ●Programming is the use of computer languages (like Java) to instruct the computer (or other devices) on how & when to do a task. ● https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC5 FbmsH4fw ● Let’s Try It! ● http://code.org/learn ● Code with Anna & Elsa… ● Write Your First Computer Program… ● …or Make a Flappy Game Programming with Alice
- 5. Pseudocode 5 ● Code: Whatthe programmer writes when making a program. ● Pseudocode: “Outline” of what code will do, without actually writing exact code. ● First step in Programming Development Cycle. Programming with Alice
