The Java™ programming language can be challenging for novice computer programmers with limited experience in object-oriented programming. To ease students into Java, Programming with Alice and Java intertwines the ideas of object-oriented programming in both languages. Programming in Alice is explored first to establish fundamental principles and skills using 3D animations in a fun, visually rich environment. The remaining chapters implement concepts in the Java programming language using interesting examples and drawing parallels between the two languages to keep students engaged.

The first 5 chapters cover computer programming concepts as they apply to Alice. This was very structured, and the CD provided great examples to tinker with.

However, after 4 weeks into my course, I'm ready for Java. Unfortunately, Chapter 6 has seemingly dumped Java onto my lap. The script examples make sense, but I had to decipher most of it myself. The CD files don't make any sense, because the author recommends Eclipse IDE, but he doesn't provide any assistance for running his files on Eclipse. (I can run programs I create on Eclipse, but not the files that he provided.) The author also states in multiple places how "ThunkIt" is an integral part of his approach to teaching Java... but THE PROGRAM DOESN'T EXIST! You go to [...], as listed in the book, and you get a webpage full of advertisements. I don't know how half of a book references a resource that doesn't exist, but I'm VERY disappointed. I'm surprised they can legally continue to sell the book as advertised.

I'm apologize for the rant, but I want to communicate the above issues to anyone considering this book... especially instructors who are considering on requiring it for their classes.

Alice part went great; however, I felt that the Java section was hard to follow and needs more example and a better explanation.
