I like this idea as an exercise for my advanced classes.Garthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-31098825322032697512013-06-04T10:07:55.842-04:002013-06-04T10:07:55.842-04:00The screenshot of variable declaration for TouchDe...The screenshot of variable declaration for TouchDevelop should be replaced by this code:<br /><br />var x:= 0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-89906451571372833432013-06-04T07:57:08.556-04:002013-06-04T07:57:08.556-04:00Great suggestions.

I don't have the experience with Alice 3.1 that I had with Alice 2.0 so that is taking me a bit. I have only played a little with Python but I agree that it is where a lot of people are moving. Java is pretty much the same as C# at this level so adding it will be easy. My biggesst problem is that I have to find a different way to display things. Size is an issue and I do need some of those images to be larger.Alfred Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575057876858763822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-26421688024410900082013-06-04T07:45:20.126-04:002013-06-04T07:45:20.126-04:00Great document on SkyDrive sdrv.ms/10LYIuf.
[1] L...Great document on SkyDrive sdrv.ms/10LYIuf.<br /><br />[1] Label the heading with the versions: like Alice 3.1, Scratch 2.0.<br />[2] The thumbnail images are great, but have them link to a larger image when clicked. They are too small to read.<br />[3] Please include Java and Python. Java is the current AP CS language and Python looks like the future language.<br />[4] Change the Alice while and if/then examples to something that more closely matches the other languages. while 1.0 < 2.0 ? where's the variable being tested?<br />[5] Add another row for dynamic (run-time) instantiation. It was just added in the new releases of Alice (3) and Scratch (2.0).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396878111978934581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-75409650065585139012013-06-04T07:38:08.808-04:002013-06-04T07:38:08.808-04:00It looks like you're off to a great start.
