How to Code: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Coding

It’s simply explained in a sequence of examples that can be easily followed for a “dummy” like myself My advice is to read and digest the information In each section of the book before rushing to your computer - then try it out step by step! It will start to make some sense! I think this would be a good book for the beginner

This book is really great for kids or beginners! It has really easy to understand diagrams to help explain the process. I bought this for my 11 year old brother, but my 7 year old sister is really liking it too!

Easy to read and follow and great fun at the same time.

This book is a wonderful introduction to program for older elementary and middle school kids. It covers Logo, Scratch, Python, HTML, and JavaScript in a fun and accessible way. Each language is taught with fun robot illustrations and easy to understand programming examples, and each chapter ends with a series of exercises so that the child can make sure they grasp the concepts. My son had originally signed this book out of the library, but we all loved it so much that we absolutely had to have a copy to keep. Basic concepts like simple loops, variables, and if statements are covers. The HTML section introduces basic markup language (and encourages the use of local webpages for practice rather than ones hosted online). There is a useful glossary and index at the rare of the book. There is no software included with this book, but it does contain links for where the required compilers and programming environments can be found online for free. (In some cases the programming environments can be used either online or downloaded for offline use.) Note that this a compilation of Max Wainewright's individual books entitled "How to Code" Levels 1 - 4.

el libro es perfecto me ha encantado. Tiene mucha información en ingles para que los niños empiecen a programar y a aprender sobre ordenadores

It is a great gift for a middle school student who has an interest in coding!

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 12-year-old grandson who is beginning his course in coding. He hasn’t yet opened his gift but by my conversations with him about this topic he is quite engaged and interested in learning more. I think this book is just the thing he needs to help him along the way with challenges and fun.

Le encantó a mi hijo de 8 años, se puso con él de manera autodidacta y consiguió hacer muchas cosas chulas. Un buen entretenimiento de confinamiento.
