PDF form, provided the copyright notice below is reproduced on the first slide.
This Keynote document contains the slides for “Introduction”, Chapter 1 of Explorations in Computing:
An Introduction to Computer Science.
The book invites students to explore ideas in computer science through interactive tutorials where
they type expressions in Ruby and immediately see the results, either in a terminal window or a 2D
graphics window.
Instructors are strongly encouraged to have a Ruby session running concurrently with Keynote
in order to give live demonstrations of the Ruby code shown on the slides.
