Fun and Easy way to learn Python
My husband bought this for me. I love the bite-size information and small projects that I can digest and work with easily. A non-programmer like me can understand the projects without feeling intimidated. I am sure I can use the small art projects to get started on my own graphics. Being a Visual Designer, I can see a great value in creating my own variations of shapes and graphics quickly. I like the side notes that give interesting, relevant information. The layout, colors, graphics, and overall visual appeal is amazing! I would definitely gift this book to my nieces and nephews.-Raka(Visual Designer)

A great resource for learning Python!
Learning to code is like learning a new language and this book is a great resource for learning Python. It is a wonderfully written book that is easy to follow for any age. It gets you starting to code right away as you learn relevant terms and how to apply them. The author makes you aware of errors that can occur and how to address them. The book inspires you to be creative as you are building different projects. It is very descriptive and goes in-depth enough to design your own game and create the art that goes along with it. I love how the book takes you a step further and introduces how to connect the code to physical computing. As more school districts are adding computer programming into their curriculum Creative Coding in Python is a must-have for any classroom or for those of you who want to learn at home.

Gentle & gratifying introduction to Python: For all ages!
This book arrived just in time to make it into the Xmas stockings of the middle-schoolers on our list.It’s a gentle introduction to programming (coding) with easy-to-follow declarative instructions accompanied by rich illustrations. Python is a suitable language for beginners in terms of syntax, popularity, and the availability of tools and samples. IDLE is a good starter environment to learn the ropes.The projects are simple and gratifying but leave room for creative experimentation. Starting from variables, operations, input/output the reader is introduced to more powerful concepts such as loops, conditions, and functions, eventually culminating in GUI’s and animation. The companion website is useful for access to the underlying code though I think it’s more educational to follow along and type the code.I look forward to future work from the author. Computing skills are gaining importance and this book is useful for anyone with the interest & motivation to learn more.

Teacher here: this is great for motivated learners
This is not great to give a kid with zero coding experience. It is not full of step-by-step activities to make a game. There are other books with that feature that gives kids instant gratification and success.This book is fantastic for a tween or teen who is motivated to learn coding by reading and doing activities suggested by the book. If never tells a person “do this, now do that”. It is designed like a textbook. It gives an example, suggests the reader tries it, then assumes the person will experiment on their own to see what else they can do with the new knowledge.What would I like to see? After each example, it should give a mini challenge. “Now that you’ve done that practice, modify the example to make it do ______ instead.” Perhaps put a series of hints on a section at the back of the book, “go to page X to get a hint.” Then a solution section, “if you need to see one way to do it, go to page X”.If I was teaching a middle school class with this book, I would give them a practice challenge after each book example.

Python Coding That Will Stick
As a computer science teacher, I have found that many of the coding books available for tweens and teens do not lead to long term learning of a programming language. These books typically have lots and lots of code that the reader uses to create projects, but the reader is often not learning the concepts behind the code and they are not able to transfer anything they have done to a new programming project.Creative Coding in Python is the answer to this problem and a fun and engaging way to learn to program in Python.Each chapter of Creative Coding in Python allows the reader to create a programming project like a chatbot or geometric art or interactive fiction or a game. The Big Ideas in each chapter provide foundational knowledge about programming concepts like variables, loops, lists, conditionals, functions, and more with short explanatory text and code that readers can try themselves. In addition to the explanatory text and code examples, readers are also presented with flowcharts or pseudocode of what they will be creating. This helps readers to build the good programming habits of thinking about the project they are creating and planning before programming. Once the Big Ideas are introduced, readers then create the main project for the chapter. While code is provided for the basic project, readers are also asked to improve the basic project in some way. Each chapter also has an Experiment and Extend section with more programming project ideas that can be created with the knowledge from the Big Ideas. Completing the projects in this section of each chapter reinforces the learning and provides the needed transfer of the concepts to new programming challenges.Parents: If you are looking for a book for your budding programmer who wants to truly learn an industry standard language, this would be a great book for your child. By reading, understanding, and completing the programming projects, your child will have a solid foundational knowledge of Python and some creative programming projects to show off, as well.Teachers: Do you have students that are ready to move on to text-based programming but the rest of your class isnât ready yet? Creative Coding in Python would be a great addition to your classroom for those students. It is the latest addition to my classroom library. Beyond adding the book to your classroom library, this book and the companion website could be a great primer for you, as a teacher, if you would like to teach an introductory Python class to your students.

I’m teaching python to my brother and sometimes I ran out of ideas of projects that we could work on. The book is helping a lot, I think that follow a book is helping us to learn and review concepts and finish the projects. And the illustrations in the book are gorgeous!
