Description
Helpful for building a foundational understanding of coding, this book teaches how to understand coding concepts in an everyday way. Rather than teaching codes or coding methods, this book simply instructs the reader on how to think like a coder. For example, codes must be done in a specific order with very specific commands in order to function. The book gives illustrations and demonstrations on exercises that will help the reader have a mindset of the order, basics, and reasons for code. This is a book that should be used before any code is tried or introduced. Going straight into coding may overwhelm or totally bewilder young minds. Some coders pick up the skill easily and naturally while some struggle to get a grasp on it. The purpose of this book is to help the reader get a grasp before they start struggling. Also taught in this book is how to exercise both the right and left sides of the brain to process the idea of coding more effectively. 143 pgs, hc. ~ Brianna
