Bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter who is into coding. She loves it. She is learning how to do all kinds of cool things with her computer. she is trying to create a game now for herself and its coming along nicely, thanks to this book. Gives step by step instructions and is great if you are just getting started with coding. I recommend this for young and old alike. For anyone that wants to get into coding or just learn a little bit of "how to".
I'm an adult who needs to learn coding, starting with Scratch. This is an excellent resource for that as it clearly explains basic concepts as you make pictures and games. The title of the book is so ridiculous that I almost didn't buy it, and the great majority of the book focusses on Scratch with a little html website project at the end. However, I'm quite glad I got it. It's very clear and useful, and neither kids nor adults will feel talked-down to by the text even though it's aimed at younger learners. Coding Games in Scratch is the other book I'd recommend.
We borrowed this from our local library and my 10 year old daughter is now obsessed with Scratch! I am going to buy copies of it for my niece and nephew for Christmas. Great book.
My son is definitely into coding and Arduino, but he hasn't read this book yet. He opened it, flipped a few pages and put it down. I'm not sure it held his interest, because he reads all the time but didn't seem to enjoy this book.
My son loves this. Easy read and good info to help him learn how to code.
Great book for all to learn how to code. It's adult friendly, thank goodness
Great book! My 12 year old sons has REALLY enjoyed it
This book is going to be a Christmas present for my son. He's only 7, but he loves computers and is starting to show an interest in coding. This book is going to be perfect for him! I'll update my review after Christmas.
