2.5) NetLogo Syntax


It would be difficult to start teaching NetLogo by introducing all the syntax and vocabulary of the language first. Instead we do a first tour around the software platform using the NetLogo tutorials and implementing a first simple model. This tour contains the most basic elements of NetLogo programs but will add all kinds of primitives (i.e. commands) “on the fly”, which might create some frustration. So, be aware of (and regularly check) the

NetLogo Dictionary (http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/dictionary.html)

where all the primitives are listed and explained. After this first program section 3.3 gives a summary and overview of most important NetLogo concepts and elements.
