The GUI acts as a translator between the user and underlying software code, negating the need to know the command line structure of the language.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Generally, there are 5 basic stages of develpment that a computer programmer addresses in designing software.

It is free and also designed to be a student's first exposure to any type of computer programming. It allows to create animated movies and simple video games and it also helps students to learn fundamental programming concepts.</span> </div>ana ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00488626298101666473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942551885375241932.post-49373367778848919232011-02-12T17:22:00.000-08:002011-03-02T17:23:10.796-08:00Alice: Programming for a New Generation<p>This is a little introduction of Alice 3D to complement your knowledge about this program </p><p><iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nm7bv4wduTI?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>ana ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00488626298101666473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942551885375241932.post-84549086092750638892011-02-11T05:08:00.000-08:002011-03-02T17:23:47.171-08:00Alice Online - Fantasy Horse RacingIn this video we want to show you how is going to be a programming project made using Alice 3D<br /><br /><br /><iframe height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5wl0_JqyKfQ?fs=1" frameborder="0" width="480" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>ana ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00488626298101666473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942551885375241932.post-55209072133585013572011-02-03T13:55:00.000-08:002011-03-03T13:56:03.759-08:00Alice Video Cheerleader<p>This is our own video made with Alice.
