Python Programming for Beginners: A Kid's Guide to Coding Fundamentals

“This is a great resource for any kid interested in programming and coding! I worked through a few of the lessons with my 9-year-old daughter, and she’s excited to keep going. The book does a great job of showing that programming is something kids can do and helps them understand how it actually works.”

“An excellent book for any young person who wants to build a strong foundation in computer science. After trying out the tween-friendly example projects, the reader will be ready to test out their own programming ideas and begin applying what they have learned to increasingly complex programming projects.” —Jennifer Newell, Middle School Teacher and Computer Science Contributor for beanz Magazine
