From the Author
The drive behind learning how to code has never been more prevalent than it is today. We see it being introduced in school curriculums the world over, along with online initiatives, coding camps and clubs. We're part of a technology and information-driven economy, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The message is clear: we have to make sure that we are all prepared for the future.
The jobs we may hold in the future probably haven't been invented yet for many of us, and the same can be said for the coding languages we might use to program our smart homes, safety drones and personal robots.
That's where "How To Think Like a Coder" comes in. Rather than teach any one particular coding language (and run the risk of becoming obsolete), it draws parallels to the natural world, logic puzzles and parlour games - all the critical thinking skills a budding coder needs to get a grip on our fast-paced technological world.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A back-to-basics guide on coding for absolute beginners, whether adults or children no prior experience required! Coding is set to change the way we work and the skills we will need in the future. For those who know nothing about coding, getting to grips with the basics is daunting. Too many of the beginner books launch straight into programming techniques but what is really needed is an understanding of the key concepts of coding. Programming then becomes much easier to grasp. This accessible, fun book goes right back to the very basics, teaching central concepts such as loops, data types, pseudocode and calculations without having to learn a single line of code! Using a set of dice, a deck of cards or a pack of dominoes to enjoy fun and straightforward exercises, you will practise key skills such as critical thinking, creativity, logic and problem-solving and begin to think like a coder without even turning on your computer. Once you are equipped with this basic toolkit, Think Like a Coder discusses the basic programmes that are available for beginners, keeping a focus on simple activities that draw analogies with the outside world to make learning easy and fun. Suitable for absolute beginners, adults and children. Designed to be a thorough yet lighthearted introduction for the complete beginner, Think Like a Coder is an essential addition to any keen programmers bookshelf. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR009225957
