+The people who read and commented on early drafts of this book include +Hal Abelson, Sharon Yoder, +Michael Clancy, Jim Davis, Batya Friedman, +Paul Goldenberg, Tessa Harvey, +Phil Lewis, Margaret Minsky, and +Cynthia Solomon. I am especially grateful to Paul +Goldenberg and Cindy Carter for their professional, financial, and +emotional support during the months I spent as a guest in their home +while working on this project, keeping them from their own work and +tying up Paul's computer equipment. This book wouldn't exist without +them. Special mention also goes to Hal Abelson, without whose support this +book wouldn't have found a publisher. + +

The main ideas in this book, and some of the specific examples, first +surfaced in the form of self-paced curriculum units for a programming +class at the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, in Sudbury, +Massachusetts. Alison Birch, Larry Davidson, +and Phil Lewis were my +colleagues there. (So, later, was Paul.) All of them helped debug the +curriculum by finding mistakes and by pointing out +the parts that were correct but incomprehensible. Larry, especially, +was my mentor and untiring collaborator, helping me survive my first +real teaching job, even though he had his own work and wasn't +officially part of the computer department at all. I'm also grateful +to the many students who served as guinea pigs for the curriculum, and +to David Levington, then the +district superintendent, who was generous +with equipment and with administrative freedom in support of an +untested idea. + +

My work at Lincoln-Sudbury would not have been possible without the +strong support of computer scientists at the Massachusetts Institute +of Technology, especially but not only the ones at the Logo Laboratory. +Equipment grants from the Digital Equipment Corporation and from +Atari, Inc., were also crucial to this work. + +

And thanks, also, to my faculty supervisors in the Graduate Group in +Science and Mathematics Education, at the University of California at +Berkeley, for their patience and understanding while I worked +on this instead of my thesis. + + +

Second Edition

+ +

In 1992 one of my then-undergraduate students, +Matt Wright, suggested that +we collaborate on a textbook for Berkeley's introductory programming course +for non-majors. The book would use Scheme, the same language used in our +first course for students in the computer science major, but would be based +on the ideas in the first edition of this book. The result of that +collaboration, Simply Scheme, was +published in 1994. + +

In writing Simply Scheme, Matt and I reconsidered every detail of +the presentation used in Computer Science Logo Style. We added a +greater emphasis on higher order functions, and we completely reorganized +the chapters on recursion. Large example programs were added to the text, +along with suggestions for student projects. + +

Most of the changes in this second edition were inspired by the work that +Matt and I did together for the Scheme book. In a few cases I have lifted +entire paragraphs from it! Matt also read early drafts of some of the new +chapters in this edition, and this text benefits from his comments. + +

Berkeley Logo, the interpreter used in this edition, is a collective effort +of many people, both at Berkeley and across the Internet. My main debt in +that project is to three former students: Dan van Blerkom, +Michael Katz, and Doug Orleans. +At the risk of missing someone, I also want to acknowledge +substantial contributions by Freeman Deutsch, +Khang Dao, Fred Gilham, Yehuda Katz, +George Mills, Sanford Owings, +and Randy Sargent. + +
