Python for Kids: A Fun and Easy Guide to Coding
I bought this python book for my 10-year-old son who loves to play with computers. He was very excited to learn how to code and create his own small programs with turtle. The book is very well written and easy to follow for kids. The pages are thick and good quality, and the print is clear and colorful. The illustrations are fun and catchy, and they help to explain the concepts and examples. The code samples are engaging and interactive, and they cover a variety of topics such as variables, loops, functions, graphics, and more. My son enjoyed trying out the code and seeing the results on the screen. He also learned some basic math and logic skills along the way. This is a great python book for kids who want to learn how to code in a fun and simple way. It is a good starter book to introduce kids to python in this age of AI era.

Well written with activities kids like
This book was written in clear language that kids can understand. My 11 year old was able to take the book and run with it. The chapters are organized logically and hit on the major building blocks of coding (lists, loops, if/then, etc). Note that we started using Python and this book on a Chromebook (with Linux OS also installed), but then switched to a Windows PC because there are modules some of the exercises import (like a turtle) that wouldnât work on the Chromebook or Linux. I highly recommend this book for kids to start coding. And Python coders are in demand, so itâs a great skill to learn. Now we are looking for the next book to build onâ¦

A good, but not perfect, book
I bought this for my 8 year old son. Now I do software development myself, so I was able to go through it with him. This book is not bad. I don’t have others to compare it with, but there were a few areas I think it could be better. I missed it, or there was no chapter on reading input. I would have expected that to be one of the first things. A program is input + process + output. And this book never touched on input. I think of a good “first game” programming is computer picks a random number and you have to try to guess it. That requires input. The first few chapters are just fancy ways of printing out variables.Second main issue is I feel like it spends a lot of time talking about the pedantics of the various ways to make strings and printing them, and I feel like too much focus was spent there.Third is that I feel like the content is not as “interesting” as it should be for an 8 year old. I feel it got a little too academic and not really relating content to things in the real-world or things 8 year old kids would care about.I would hesitate to give this book to an 8 year old if a grownup was not going to follow along with them or already knows some programming basics. Maybe an older kid will be able to follow it more independently. That said, the actual programming/technical content is well within the grasp of my 8 year old. But I don’t think he’d have the patience to follow it independently because of the way it’s written.

Excellent 2nd introduction to programming for kids!
This book was used by my 2nd grader, and he mostly enjoyed it. There were not parent/child struggles. The book is well written.1) Chapters are simple and approachable with some help from knowledgeable parent/tutor/teacher. The content is not boring either. They do not go on and on about syntax and its variations.2) The activities are also simple for enthusiastic kids or teens. More challenging activities are clearly marked. The exercises require problem solving. However, they do not require any knowledge of computer algorithms.3) This book does a good job of showing how to program in Python. It’s mostly focused on syntax and not algorithms which is great. Doing both at the same time may be challenging for any child.If your child has expressed interest in coding, then this is a great introductory (sort of) book. If not, I would recommend starting with Scratch and simple programming toys as first introduction to programming/coding.

As described
Great Book. Beware itâs only for one particular App. I was unsure when I bought it. I thought coding was just coding lol. But evidently not. It was a gift so I learned quickly what to not buy.But itâs a great book and wuality

Teach Your Kids Something Useful
Tired of seeing your kids playing Minecraft all day or watching endless Five Nights at Freddies videos on YouTube. I was. Now I sit down with our 9 year old and teach him programming (when I have the time). Does he enjoy it as much as Season 12 of Pokemon Sun & Moon? Probably not. But he does enjoy some of the exercises and is learning the basics of a skill that he’ll be able to use in the future. I know some basic programming ideas and have coded HTML and CSS for many years, so I feel comfortable guiding him through the chapters (even though I know nothing about Python). I don’t think kids will push through this book on their own, but it gives you a good opportunity to pull them away from their computers and sit them back down in front of their computers — to do something useful.

Using on Chromebook
We figured out how to load linux and python onto the chromebook even though there are not specific instructions for it (chromebook) in this book, it gave us enough clues about how to do install (with a little searching on the internet). Once we got rolling we could follow the directions while keeping in mind we were not using a windows machine. The book is well laid out and looks like my 10 year old can understand it even though he couldn’t do the install by himself. If you want to teach your kid one thing to get ’em excited, try the turtle (pen). He loves using that. Happy scripting!

Not throughtly explained and randomly jumps around
Read through this with my 7 year old. In the turtle module, the author jumps around from shape to shape. Every time, she draws a new shape, it’s a new window while the books just continue using the same window and shapes are drawn over the turtle and other shapes.In the last chapter, when referencing the colors.py file that authors tells you to create and save, it gives a syntax error when typing “from colors import rgb_red, purple, yellow” in a new file.

Bought for 13th birthday present. Chose this as it appeared to be easy to follow. Liked the fact it had answers at the back

Book Condition: Book was in good condition and pages are of good quality. got delivered nicely.Book Knowledge Level: Book is a good start for anyone who has never done any coding before, if you have any coding experience before then this book will not contribute much.I have read this book page to page so I can say it was interesting to see all the activities and challenges (they take upto half volume of the book). If you are an experienced developer ( > 1 year) then you won’t probably spend time on those activities and challenges as they are very trivial.There are many intermediate/advance books available for a relatively cheaper price.

Got this for my 10 year old. He already has some very basic programming concepts. I thought the activities would be properly fun engaging projects. But theyâre not. They are things like using the shell to assign values to two variables then do basic maths operations.Maybe that is engaging for some kids. Not mine.Activities are explained well. But theyâre just boring.

I recently purchased the book “Coding for Kids – Python” for my 8-year-old to help with some raspberry pi robot projects and overall, it’s been a positive experience but it can be heavy going for young kids.First of all, I must commend the authors for the way they’ve set out this book. It’s clear, concise, and easy to follow. The step-by-step approach to teaching Python coding is well-structured, which is crucial for young learners. The book is filled with examples that make it visually appealing to kids and the games at the end of the chapters are not too complex to code either adding a bit of fun and expanding on what you just learned.However, I did notice that my 8-year-old struggled a bit with maintaining focus while reading through the book, there was definite glazed looks after about 15 mins of reading. Python coding can be quite complex, and it might be a bit challenging for some kids to grasp all the concepts at once. To address this issue, we had to break down the material into smaller, manageable chunks. This approach seemed to work well for my child, as it allowed him to absorb the information more effectively.What I appreciate the most about this book is its accessibility. The language used is straightforward and kid-friendly, which makes it easy for young readers to understand. The authors have done a great job simplifying complex coding concepts, making them accessible to children.”Coding for Kids – Python” is a valuable resource for introducing kids to programming, especially when backed up with a practical project using something like a raspberry pi. While it may require some additional effort to keep young readers engaged and focused, the book’s approachable style and well-organized content make it a worthwhile investment. My kid has now got a firm grasp of Python basics which he uses on his robotics projects thanks to this book.
