Move the Turtle is a graphical app for the iPhone and iPad for beginners to learn programming concepts in a hands-on, non-theoretical way. The app consists of giving instructions to a turtle who moves around the screen trying to capture diamonds. It teaches basic programming concepts through a game type interface.
Move the Turtle can be found in the App Store for $2.99, and is a great introduction to programming for kids (and adults who like turtles). Whether or not you want to get into programming, the kind of thinking required to solve the tasks in the app can be valuable for everyone to learn, for every field of study.
