Children Learn Computer Program Design with Newest Book from Alpha Books

(Carmel, Indiana)--Alpha Books' newest computer tutorial for children
teaches kids how to create a personalized adventure game and, in the
process, learn computer programming. Building with BASIC, a book/disk set,
has been tested and approved by kids and parents.

Building with BASIC teaches kids what a computer program is and how
computer languages communicate with computer operating systems. By
learning how to map out what they want the computer to do and translating
that map into a program of instructions the computer can understand,
children build the basic skills of a computer programming technician.

Building with BASIC introduces children to the world of BASIC. They learn
important computer skills in a fun atmosphere, while the book also
encourages creativity and stimulates logical and critical thinking. The
accompanying disk contains full programming code for the adventure game
examples as well as extra programs for common tasks.

Alpha Books, a new publisher of home computing and children's books, is an
imprint of Prentice Hall Computer Publishing (PHCP). PHCP is a division of
Simon & Schuster, which is the publishing operation of Paramount
Communications Inc.
