Tonight I read the blog post from Brad Abrams a “developer” at Microsoftthat I have been following from years, one of the first Microsoft people to have a blog really. I was very fortunate to meet him in person the last MVP Summit.
When I was a kid living in Manresa (Barcelona, Spain) at my little school we got a few first generation of Apple computer with only one language LOGO. I loved the 1 hour a week that we were able to have a class in that lab and learn that language. I believe that was there where I learned about my love for computers. I kept my big floppy disk with save logo applications to draw in the screen.
Now Logo is back and alive again, I’ll be setting up my kids computer with theFMSLogo for Windows so my oldest that will be 6 on Saturday can learn how to develop an application.
You can download the open source application here.
Here is the info from the website.
A Logo programming environment for MS-Windows operating systems. FMSLogo (contrasted with other Logo dialects) has an easy-to-use GUI that encourages learning, especially for young children. FMSLogo was once called MSWLogo.
I’ll keep you inform to see how it goes. Thanks Brad for the heads up.
Cheers
