Unit D: Event-driven programming

There were no lectures for Unit D, so there are no notes.
Instead of lectures, this Unit involves learning by doing. As you complete the exercises below, you will learn material on event-driven programming.

The lab exercises use the programming environment Netlogo. This is a system that was created by folk at the Center for Connected Learning at Northwestern University.

You can download Netlogo for free, and it runs under Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

This unit is based on chapters 9 and 11 of the textbook. You should read through these if you have the book.
