Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how to introduce children to the world of programming? Or you simply want to know for yourself?
This book assumes no programming knowledge at the start, so we'll be teaching you from the ground up. After all, you can't really teach kids effectively what you don't know yourself!
This book contains helpful tutorials, and actual programming (not Sketch or a similar non-industry kind of programming). Programming languages come and go, which is why this book includes sample tutorials in most of the world's most common entry-level languages such as Java, Ruby, and Python.
The first thing you (as well as kids) probably think of when someone mentions programming is most likely video games - we came prepared. In this book, we describe how video games are made, as well as a fun exercise in video game making (albeit it's nothing complicated).
Within these pages, you'll find a true trove of information that teaches yourself, or kids, not only the raw theory but also some practical applications.
Learn to program not just from staring at a computer screen, but also from building useful applications. From a clock to a calendar, you and/or the kids are bound to have a blast!
Did you know programming is one of the fastest growing fields?
Do you want for yourself, or the children, to have a head start in the job market by learning some of the world's most popular programming languages?
Do you feel that informatics is indispensable in today's increasingly digital world?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then look no further.
Grab this book and let's go on a journey, discovering programming along the way!
