REVIEWS FOR BEGINNING VISUAL C# EXPRESS: -I like the Computer Science For Kids Textbooks. They are clearly written and easy to understand. All in all, you folks have done a great job!- - Peter Eramo, Teacher, Poland, NY -The teaching resources are great. They work very well for a class and it is good teaching & guidance for students to do on their own.- - Julie McMahon, Teacher, New Zealand -I like the tutorials. They were easy to follow using layman's terms.- - Carol Carmichael, Teacher, Easton, PA -Having used Kidware Software tutorials for the past decade, I have to say that I could not have achieved the level of success which is now applied in the variety of many programming environments which are currently of considerable interest to kids! I thank Kidware Software and its authors for continuing to stand for what is right in the teaching methodologies which work with kids - even today's kids where competition for their attention is now so much an issue.- - Alan Payne, Computer Science Teacher, T.A.
