Publisher's description

From Otherwise :

Jurtle is a simple integrated development tool for learning to program using Java. While ideal for high school or junior high school students, even adults wanting to explore the basics of programming will find Jurtle a great way to learn.

With Jurtle, you learn to program by writing code that moves a virtual turtle on the computer screen, drawing figures in its wake. This approach to teaching programming is patterned after Turtle Graphics in the Logo programming language (Java + Turtle = Jurtle).

After mastering the basics using Turtle Graphics, Jurtle may even be used to create complete Java applications with full-fledged graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Jurtle comes with many example programs and a series of 16 short, self-paced lessons that introduce the basics of Java programming.

What's new in this version:

Fixed BrowserLauncher to work with the Apple Panther release.
Made small change in the way getPosition() returns the turtl'e position. It now rounds the coordinates rather than truncating them.
We now ask the user before automatically loading a folder associated with a lesson.
Changed the Toggle Comment shortcut to Cmd-T. The old Cmd-/ didn't work on Apple's 1.4 Java.
Incorporated the proofreader's corrections into the Lessons and User Manual.
