About the Book

** Unleash the creative artist in you while enjoying the friendly Scratch programming environment.** Whether you are a beginner or an expert programmer, you will find turtle programming exciting and challenging. This book explores how the "Pen" feature of Scratch can be used to create interesting designs. Pen programming (aka Turtle programming) provides a visual feedback by providing a clear trace of the sprite's movements. This is very helpful, especially for those who are new to the world of programming. It helps in analyzing your own thinking and serves as a debugging tool. Turtle programming challenges students to recognize patterns and learn effective use of the divide-and-conquer approach to create seemingly complex designs. And last but not the least, it stimulates artistic creativity. Students are inspired to create interesting designs while simultaneously developing analytical and programming skills.
About the Author: As a freelance teacher, Abhay's area of interest has been "teaching Computer Programming as a medium for learning" and he has been teaching Scratch, Snap, and Python regularly to middle and high school students and college students in the US and India. In 2011 Abhay co-authored (with Sandesh Gaikwad) two books on Logo Programming and later he authored two books on Scratch: "Learn CS Concepts with Scratch" and "Advanced Scratch Programming". Abhay has been associated with the Software Industry since 1988 as a programmer, leader, and entrepreneur. After getting an MS in Computer Engineering from Syracuse University (USA), he worked for product companies that developed operating systems, network protocols, and secure software. In 1997, Abhay co-founded Disha Technologies, a successful software services organization.
