I'm just getting started with the text "Learning Java Through Alice" by<br>
Tebring Daly and Eileen Wrigley, ISBN 9781491073933. Using the NetBeans<br>
Alive plugin, students can import programs created in Alice 3.1 into the<br>
NetBeans IDE. They can then examine and modify the code directly in<br>
NetBeans. The text guides the student through the process while also<br>
introducing Java programming.<br>
<br>
This is the only text I found that combines Alice 3.1 programming with<br>
Java. I am quite excited about the possibilities this provides for the<br>
small class of high school seniors in the course.<br>

Learning to Program with Alice, 3rd Ed. is an excellent resource. I'm<br>
hoping they are coming out with 4th Ed. soon... It provides good<br>
instruction on how to program using Alice and has many opportunities for<br>
practice and understanding. Along with the tutorials provided on Duke's<br>
website, I've managed to fill 3/4 of the year so far.<br>
<br>
I am reviewing several books for the Alice 3, but not found one I like for<br>
everything. May need to combine with a JAVA programming text to fill an<br>
entire year.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
