Help Your Kids with Computer Coding: A Unique Step-by-Step Visual Guide, from Binary Code to Building Games

Book was received less than 24 hours after it was ordered! Received in good condition. Very satisfied!

I'm very pleased with this book. I am 57 yo and am learning programming for fun. I have been working through this book and I came upon a Udemy class for Python. The class didn't explain how to get going in Python if you are on a Mac very well. I was going to have to quit the class when I remembered this book. It walked me through my dilemma step by step and got me up an running in no time. The first part of the book that walks you through programming with Scratch is super fun and I would think kids would really enjoy that...I know I did! This is a really good book for introducing beginners to programming/coding. I like this book line so well I bought some more of their books--one on Math and I might get their anatomy book too. An excellent resource, well written and colorful.

It's a very clear, concise book written like a textbook. I could see this being helpful to adults wanting to learn to code; trying to jump in to something like, say, JavaScript as a first language would be foolish, while Scratch teaches a person the basics of coding in a drag-and-drop environment. If you know someone with a passing interest in computers but who thinks computers just do random things to spite them, this could be helpful as well.

I used this to teach a local coding club class. The pictures and directions are perfect for people that consider themselves newbies to the world of coding. After reading this I felt one notch above a newbie, but also felt like it unlocked a new world to me. Using Scratch and getting involved with the communities has helped me become even more proficient at using coding in a classroom setting.

How am I supposed to read this book on my Kindle if I can't zoom in? Allow us to zoom in on the Kindle app for mac, Amazon. Step it up.

I bought this as an additional resource to learn binary code and python. It helped a lot! More so than the “dummies” books!

This is soooooo fun for kids who are interested in making things happen to graphics. The instructions are written very well. We only started with the scratch program which is the easiest, but paging through the book I can tell it is quite consistent. We actually borrowed the book from the library but I quickly ordered a copy so we could keep using it.

I have ordered over a hundred kindle books and have never had a book that wouldn't work on my mac. I didn't even know some of the books weren't compatible with all versions of kindle. Unfortunately, after I paid the $10 for this book I downloaded it to both my computer and iphone simply to find out that it won't work in the kindle app on either device. I cannot read my purchase. Once I came back to this page trying to figure out why it wasn't working I noticed the tiny print link that once clicked will tell you which kindle devices it will work on (and none of mine are listed). I really think that if a book is offered on kindle that it should work on all kindle devices/platforms or have a more noticeable warning that it won't work on all devices. So, before anybody makes my same mistake...if you are planning to use it on any apple device other than an iPad...steer clear!

Easy for my son

I brought this book for our daughter, whom is home educated. She loves this book and it is easy to follow and explained well

This book is so easy to follow

Well designed! My 8 yr old students can easily pick up this book in class and understand the information presented to them. Whoever illustrated this book, did not cut any corners. Explains really well scratch and introduces some concepts for python.

Grandson loved this book and was excited to get started. Some help needed to clarify some points.
