[Don Slater]

Elaine,
Our text will not be ready for this fall, unfortunately…

If you go to the Alice Level 3 Instructional Materials Home page 

	http://www.alice.org/3.1/index.html <http://www.alice.org/3.1/index.html>

and select the Course Materials menu -> Collin College / CCAC menu item, you will find a reference to a textbook 

	Learning Java Through Alice
	Authors: Tebring Daly and Eileen Wrigley 
	ISBN-13: 978-1491073933

	http://www.alice.org/3.1/index.html <http://www.alice.org/3.1/index.html>

 that was developed as part of an NSF grant in which we were partners.


Joel Adams, who did a semester sabbatical with the Alice team has two textbooks that use Alice 3:
