After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Learning to Program with Alice

By: Wanda Dann,Stephen Cooper,Randy Pausch

With the rise of object-oriented languages, computer science faculty must squeeze far more content-and far more challenging concepts-into introductory courses. The result: many novices find introductory programming courses extremely frustrating, and some even abandon computer science altogether. Alice was designed from the ground up to make contemporary programming concepts far easier to teach-and to learn. In this highly anticipated book, Alice's creators and key innovators offer a complete full-color introduction to the Alice 3D interactive graphics programming environment.
