Riassunto

Adventures in Coding is the perfect book for young people who want to learn how to program but need a little heads-up on where to begin. The Adventures series has been specifically designed to appeal to young people as they begin their adventures with technology, with a layout that will appeal to school age students and carefully tailored projects that allow them to learn while having fun.

Based on 9 fun projects that start at the most rudimentary level of how to set up a project, the book assumes no previous computing knowledge and explains concepts other books presume that the reader will already know. Through the projects, the young reader will pick up the skills and knowledge needed for basic programming and concepts that they can then apply on other projects and devices. Each chapter will be accompanied by a video that will back up the lessons from the project and ensure the reader has all the support he or she needs.

Authored by experienced authors who know how to write for younger minds, Adventures in Coding is written specifically for the self-teaching 11- to 15-year old who wants to learn how to create and code his or her own program.
