"I had an old computer that I was going to give to a family friend [...] His nine-year-old brother found out about it and wanted it for himself, so I installed the latest Sugar Learning Platform [...] He is pleased to have the same operating system (OS) used by astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) and enjoys playing Tux Kart."

    The official manual for creating Activities that will run on the Sugar platform used by the One Laptop Per Child project. The book is addressed to teachers and others that are new to programming. There is sample code for Activities that demonstrate how to use all the features that Sugar provides, including collaboration, internationalization, and Text To Speech. The EPUB and Kindle format files are hand crafted, not automatically generated. The Kindle format book is the same one sold in the Kindle Store.

    Cómo Hacer Una Actividad Sugar
    
    Se trata de la traducción del manual oficial para crear Actividades que corran sobre la plataforma Sugar lanzada con el proyecto OLPC. El libro está dirigido a usuarios de Sugar: niños, adolescentes y docentes. Su lectura no exige experiencia previa en programación. La obra es un balance óptimo entre divulgación de conceptos generales del arte de programar, fruto de la experiencia en el área del autor, y detalles concretos sobre la anatomía de una Actividad Sugar. Es una herramienta inigualable para iniciarse en programación. Los formatos EPUB y Kindle no fueron generados automáticamente y están cuidadosamente revisados. El formato Kindle del libro es el mismo que se vende en la Kindle Store.
