Miss Lovelace's code gets an upgrade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780956908964)

Miss Lovelace's code gets an upgrade is the third book about Miss Lovelace's amazing code. These books are designed for children in primary or elementary school. They are illustrated in colour throughout. These humorous books are especially appealing to boys. In the first two books, each chapter was a standalone episode, but in this book the chapters are more like a traditional chapter book with each chapter being part of one adventure. The code that is the focus of these stories is object -oriented code using Java based on the WeeBee Code for primary or elementary school children. Although the stories are obviously science fiction, the language used in the code phrases will support children's understanding of the computational principles of object-oriented code. In Miss Lovelace's code gets an upgrade, the children introduced in the second book meet up with another girl while on holiday together. They discover a wicked plot by the owner of the holiday park that will destroy the local ecology and make a plan to foil the eco-criminal's plot. When the children discover that Miss Lovelace's code has a new function, they use this to carry out their cunning plan and are hailed as eco-warriors in the local newspaper. The goodies win and the baddies get their just deserts.
