Beginner's Step-by-Step Coding Course: Learn Computer Programming the Easy Way (DK Complete Courses)

“Got this as a gift for a kid who’s starting to get curious about coding, and he really liked it. The visuals are clear, the instructions are easy to follow, and it breaks big programming ideas into fun, manageable steps. It’s not overwhelming, and it actually makes learning feel doable. Perfect for kids (or adults) who want to dip their toes into coding without getting lost in the jargon.” — Praying to the car gods

This is an excellent introduction to coding concepts. The book is beautifully laid out with clear, step-by-step instructions and helpful diagrams that make complex ideas easy to understand. The highest praise I can give is that I've been reading it side-by-side with my 5-year-old, and the visuals and explanations are simple enough for her to grasp the basic concepts. It sparks great conversations about how technology works. It's a fantastic resource not just for adult beginners, but also for parents looking to introduce computational thinking to young children in a fun, engaging way. Highly recommended for visual learners and family learning.

Im still reading this. I am finding it informative....as it should be.

Intresting

I am just starting out learning the concepts of coding, because I would like to start making my own video games as a hobby. I have purchased other "how-to" guides for beginners, which ended up being very confusing and required a more intermediate level of knowledge with coding. I am very happy with this book, as it provides straightforward and easy to understand lessons in four different coding languages, along with access to a free-to-use coding program so you can practice each lesson step-by-step in real time. The book is very colorful and laid out well with lots of pictures to illustrate each step in the process. I highly recommend this book for people like me, who are just starting out with coding and want to grasp the fundamentals before jumping into the deep end.

I am not a seasoned programmer, so I cannot compare this to other resources available. Regarding the book itself, though, it is very high quality. The book itself is a hard cover with very high production values. Everything is illustrated and easy to understand. Like I said, I cannot vouch for the nitty-gritty that an expert might be able to, but from my perspective, this is a great place to start as a beginner.

Great reference book explaining Computing fundamentals. A lot of colored visual aids and diagrams that will help students understands topics at hand.

This version is a little outdated to some programs now BUT with ChatGPT I've been able to run through the instructions easily. It's extremely well-written and makes it fun to learn. Worth asking ChatGPT what's wrong when something doesn't work (it'll tell you the update that made the code not work and how to fix it) because it's the easiest time I've had trying to learn something brand new on my own.

Le design est vraiment sympa mais une fois cela passé des informations importantes sont manquantes et d’autres sont incomplètes. Les exercices de mise en pratique sont assez sympa mais ce qui ressort est que le livre en général mériterait d’être plus complet. Comme premier pas dans ce monde theodinproject est plus intéressant.

This is a great coding book. Very simple to follow and to understand. Programmers - watch your back.

روعه عجب ولدي الي عمره ١١ سنه وكل يوم يقراه ويطبق الي فيه اخذته بتخفيض كان سعره اقل بوايد حتى من مكتبة جرير

Really easy to read and full of information! A great book for adults who want to learn to code.

Great for kids as well as adult beginners alike. The design of the book is such that it’s easy on the mind and brain to understand the content. Very very well thought out and well planned book.
