Hi All, Does anyone have this HyperCard book in his/her bookshelf? and Could you provide us with a fair review of it's content?
Probably you want to know: How did I found about this book? Today I was looking for some out of print Books in AbeBooks and for curiosity, searched the word "HyperCard" and just found it. A book that I have not seen before: Analytical Engine: An Introduction to Computer Science Using HyperCard 2.1 (Computer Science Series) Paperback – September 27, 1993 by Rick Decker (Author), Stuart Hirshfield (Author) THE ANALYTICAL ENGINE is unique in its true survey course approach combined with the learn by doing method of incorporated laboratories. While most introductions to computer science teach only programming, THE ANALYTICAL ENGINE covers the spectrum of computer science topics from history and systems design, to programming, hardware and the effect of computing on society and, each topic has a corresponding lab. Unlike any other book on the market, Decker and Hirshfield put the powerful tool of HyperCard into the hands of beginning computer science students, resulting in interesting and creative programs. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=12845759283 Amazon have this book too: http://www.amazon.com/Analytical-Engine-Introduction-Computer-HyperCard/dp/0534936962 If we believe this book's introduction then this is exactly the kind of content that should be updated for this platform. How many interesting and really useful books about HyperCard published between 1987 and 1998 are just waiting to be rediscovered and updated?
