Coding for Kids: A Hands-on Guide to Learning the Fundamentals of How to Code Games, Apps and Websites

I have always been interested in coding for myself and my children, so I was glad to come across this resource. I always assumed coding was like speaking and using another language, so using this book was helpful. The author made it easy to learn how to code some of my favorite kid games (snake and ping pong). He breaks down the different terminology for coding. Looking forward to more resources from this author.

Delighted from the purchase

This was a Christmas gift for my son! He’s just gotten into coding and now uses this book! He references it all the time!

I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy the other explain coding in this book, although I think this book is more appropriate for teens or for adults with absolutely no coding experience like myself. Within the first few pages of introduction, I was able to finally understand what binary coding is and what a byte is. My only recommendation is to not call this a kids book but instead a teens book or coding for dummies, for example. I have kids ages 2 to 11, and I actually think this book is more appropriate for teenagers. I mean, my 11 year old would understand it, but perhaps at pictures or make it more entertaining if it is geared more for kids. Overall, I do really like this book as reference for myself since I'm level zero in coding language.

Personally I found this book phenomenally helpful.
