Berkeley Logo (UCBLogo)

Berkeley Logo (download manual as text) (download manual as PDF) (download readme) is a freeware interpreter that I wrote along with several students. (Major contributors are Daniel van Blerkom, Khang Dao, Michael Katz, Douglas Orleans, and Sanford Owings.)

News! UCBLogo development has been taken over by wonderful chief volunteer Josh Cogliati and bunches of other volunteers: dmalec, Barak A. Pearlmutter, janekr, hosiet, reinerh, atehwa, kilobyte, pahihu

Also consider David Costanzo's FMSLogo, an updated version of George Mills' MSWLogo, a multimedia-enhanced version for MS Windows based on Berkeley Logo. Or Andreas Micheler's aUCBLogo, a rewrite and enhancement of UCBLogo.

You can look at the tables of contents and complete downloadable PDFs and browsable HTML versions of

Symbolic Computing, a Logo programming text that concentrates on natural language processing rather than the graphics most people associate with Logo.
Advanced Techniques, in which discussions of more advanced Logo features alternate with sample projects using those features, with commentary on the structure and style of each.
