Synopsis
In the twenty-first century, computer science affects nearly industry and much of people's personal lives, as well. Smartphones have made apps a widely used tool in everyday life, and there are apps for almost every conceivable task. Behind those apps are skilled programmers who learned to code by experimenting with bite-sized programs. With this hands-on guidebook, readers will learn how to code using Python, a popular and highly functional programming language. Readers will code short programs that perform mathematical computations, compare data, store variables, and even produce simple games.

Reviews
Gr 7 Up-Coding and using coding tools have become essential elements of middle school and high school curriculum, just as learning to read is part of elementary school. And just as we create materials for what we used to call "reluctant readers," we ought to have materials for "reluctant coders." This series is just that-text-based tutorials, written in a conversational tone and full of examples and analogies, that walk these learners through easily achievable activities to a successful working result. The choice of programs and languages is good-Python, SQL, and HTML open doors to learning more advanced programming languages; Sonic Pi is a good introduction to Ruby; Unity gets kids started with C++; and Twine, Scratch, and Mindstorms are great for kids interested in gaming, animation, or robotics. VERDICT Coding is for everyone with these conversational guides.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
