Learn Logo Programming with No Charge Books
Logo Books
The Logo Programming Language, a dialect of Lisp, was designed as a tool for learning. It features interactivity, modularity, extensibility, with flexibility of data types.
Logo offers a rich programming environment providing multimedia tools, robotics and network access. Full-featured Logo packages provide hundreds of commands for exploring all sorts of applications, from the simplest turtle graphics to artificial intelligence.
NOTE: None of the books featured below are released under an open source license. There seems to be a dearth of open source programming books for Logo. But the books featured below at least are available to view without charge.
We publish a series covering the best open source programming books for other popular languages. Read them here.
