Several packages are installed here for you to try. Mess about with them to your heart's content. Please don't do anything deliberately destructive.

Some of them require you to create accounts. The account systems are all separate from MIS-Book.Com. You don't have to use the same user name and password, though you can if you want to keep things simple.

Programming

Louie

Louie is a basic virtual computer. You drag-and-drop to create simple programs.

Louie will not teach you how to write real programs. It is too basic for that. But that isn't Louie's goal. All it will do is help you learn what a program is.

Transaction processing system

Badger

Password: buffy

This is a personal finance application. You can mess around with accounts, add transaction, and all sort of things. It's an example of a transaction processing system.

Modeling tools

Mortgage calculator

Experiment with mortgages. See the effects of different loan amounts, interest rates, and so on. This is an example of a decision support tool, more specifically, a modeling tool.

Vampire simulation

A simulation of vampire and human fatalities in a town.

Document center

MediaWiki

The software behind Wikipedia. Create your own pages using the wiki's formatting language. This could be used as a document center.

Virtual community

Dating system

This is a demo only! But if you find your soul mate, well, I guess that's OK, too. This is an example of a virtual community.
