With this visual guide to computer programming for beginners, it has never been easier to learn how to code.
Coding skills are in high demand and the need for programmers is still growing. Covering three of the most popular languages for new coders, this book uses a graphic method to break complex subjects into user-friendly chunks, bringing essential skills within easy reach. Each chapter contains tutorials on practical projects designed to teach you the main applications of each language, such as building websites, creating games, and designing apps. The book also looks at many of the main coding languages that are out there, outlining the key applications of each language, so you can choose the right language for you.
You’ll learn to think like a programmer by breaking a problem down into parts, before turning those parts into lines of code. Short, easy-to-follow steps then show you, piece by piece, how to build a complete program. There are challenges for you to tackle to build your confidence before moving on.
Written by a team of expert coders and coding teachers, Beginner’s Step-by-Step Coding Course is the ideal way to get to set you on the road to code.

Great Gift for Young Coders
“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

Surprisingly Accessible for All Ages
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.

Better than I expected
I’m 40 and decided to learn some programming language as my only exposure was HTML back in high school. I was also going to involve my son who is 14 and is very interested in programming games.This book was a pleasant surprise. It’s definitely written with my son in mind, but it was not hard to follow once you understood the pattern it takes. Sometimes it seemed like it was all over the place. Together, we programmed our first game (Knights Quest) and as a Zelda fan, I was super into it. I also purchased another book by the same company with more games for practice.Can’t go wrong with this book if you’re completely new to coding and want to explore it!

Must Have For Beginner Coders
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.

High quality!
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 for first year Comp Sci student
Great reference book explaining Computing fundamentals. A lot of colored visual aids and diagrams that will help students understands topics at hand.

Really is perfect for beginners
For a true beginner like me, this book actually is a really good fit. It’s highly-visual and paced well (not so slow as to be insulting or frustrating but not too fast that your mind spins). New concepts are explained adequately for the context being presented and each language, after introducing essential concepts, comes with several projects you can do to put it in action. You probably won’t land a job after just reading this book, but it’s a great jumping off point for further study if you’re so inclined.

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.
