Did you always want to learn computer programming, but you had to give up because you thought it was difficult? Did you ever believe programming could be fun?If the answer is yes to those questions, you have come to the right place. This book will change the way you think about programming.This book is NOT JUST FOR KIDS. Many adults benefit from a beginner’s level, especially with programming.Python is an expressive and powerful language that is very easy to learn and is fun to work with. Most books that will teach you about programming with Python are boring and dull; that's why nobody has fun while learning the language.Luckily, this book will introduce you to the world of programming. It covers the basics of programming with Python and uses examples that feature wizards, monsters, ravens, and much more. You will learn new terms and understand the nitty-gritty of coding as well.Many chapters in the book come with some exercises that you can perform to improve your programming skills and deepen your understanding of the language. You will also learn how to draw using Python in the end.Furthermore, the book will help you:· Work with data structures like lists, tuples, and maps· Organize the statements in the code using functions and modules· Draw different patterns and shapes using the Turtle module· Create some games and applications using PythonWhy should only adults have all the fun? Grab a copy of the book and enter the world of programming!

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!

When Anthony Armstrong returns to his hometown of Parson’s End after completing his studies at Harvard, he expects to spend a few quiet weeks lending a hand at his family’s farm. When his father is shot, however, he is drawn into a vicious range war. Armstrong longs to return to his studies, but as the body count rises, his chances of ever seeing Harvard again grow fewer by the hour. Matters reach a shattering climax when he is confronted by a ruthless and bloodthirsty band of Comancheros.

This book is a go-to for every person who’s looking to learn computer programming in the most simplified way, as it has been written in a manner that kids can comprehend. Although it says it’s For Kids, it is indeed for everyone — parents, teachers, students, and adults who are interested in the basics of computer programming, whether for the fun of it, or to take advantage of the tech and digital age we’re in. It contains all the basic knowledge anyone who’s just being introduced to coding needs to know.Python isn’t like regular human language, so this book has been created in chronological order that allows you follow the programming thought process step by step so you’ll never be overwhelmed. All the content has been codified into eleven chapters that are concise and straight to the point on all topics. The bulky topics are broken down into smaller subtopics for easy understanding and they come with examples to walk you through.Every chapter contains tips and tricks that highlight the major points. The fun and games that have been highlighted in this book are those that young people cannot say no to.The book has been written in a manner that will encourage children (and you) to explore the many options that Python programming provides. If you’re looking to learn coding in the most straightforward way, while having fun at the same time, then this book is a must have for you. It’s time to broaden your vision, enhance your child’s creativity and skills and step into the programming world. Why should only adults have all the fun? Grab a copy of the book and enter the world of programming!

Have you heard about coding but don’t know what it’s all about?Do you want to teach your child to code, but aren’t sure where to start?If so, then this book is for you!Coding has been described as ‘the new literacy’. So many people want to learn to code, but many don’t actually know what coding is or where to start. Many believe that coding has to be done in front of a computer, when in fact the opposite is true.This book is a beginner’s guide to teach children the basic concepts of coding using fun, offline and online activities to inspire your child away from a computer screen.Starting with information about what coding is and where we encounter it in our everyday lives, this book is aimed at parents and teachers who don’t necessarily consider themselves technologically minded. The activities and games are suitable to use for both at home on a one to one, and based in a classroom setting. The games and lessons can easily be adapted to suit your needs and the interests of your child.Children absorb information better when they do hands on activities that give them firsthand experience of a topic. With activities such as mazes, treasure hunts, patterning and learning binary code, your child will learn to problem solve, think logically and be creative, while at the same time improving their literacy and math skills without even realizing they are learning to code.It takes all the technical jargon and explains it in a way that is simple to understand, and even those who consider themselves ‘technophobes’ will be able to teach their child basic coding concepts and have fun at the same time.No need to be afraid any longer. Now is the time to learn basic coding with this easy to follow, fun guide.
