Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. LOGO is a
computer programming language used for functional programming. It is an
adaptation and dialect of the Lisp language; some have called it Lisp
without the parentheses. Today, it is known mainly for its turtle
graphics, but it also has significant facilities for handling lists,
files, I/O, and recursion. Logo was created in 1967 for educational use,
more so for constructivist teaching, by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally
Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. The name is derived from
the Greek logos meaning word, emphasising the contrast between itself
and other existing programming languages that processed numbers. It can
be used to teach most computer science concepts, as UC Berkeley Lecturer
Brian Harvey does in his Computer Science Logo Style trilogy.
