Reviews

"Advanced Logo: A Language for Learning is a welcome addition to the LOGO library since [it] deliberately seeks to invite readers into this broader conception of LOGO as a "real" programming language. [Friendly] also seeks to extend this fuller view of LOGO by illustrating how programming in LOGO is an educational methodology for bringing children into contact with many educationally important ideas... [the book] offers a bridge to take the reader from a basic fluency with LOGO to an understanding for more advanced issues...[the book] is not just a verbal description; it is filled with exciting exercises and projects, and is even accompanied by diskettes containing many of the larger projects in machine-executable form."

"A fine acquisition for libraries in institutions where Logo is used."
