Given that she is a librarian - and working on new aquisitions - I will thank you for your loan offer for her. I suspect that she will enjoy spending the school's money however.<br>

My suggestion is to use a book like this in conjunction with some other<br>

familiar with Alice, but I agree with your suggestion for Java or Python<br>
since plenty of documentation exists for beginners.<br>

if interested.<br>
<br>
Here are some additional online resources I have seen suggested by<br>
others.<br>
