Editorial Reviews

Review

“An excellent book for any young person who wants to build a strong foundation in computer science. After trying out the tween-friendly example projects, the reader will be ready to test out their own programming ideas and begin applying what they have learned to increasingly complex programming projects.” ―Jennifer Newell, Middle School Teacher and Computer Science Contributor for beanz Magazine

“Perfect for middle school level technology classes and coding clubs, Patricia Foster's
Python Programming for Beginners demystifies beginner level programming concepts. Providing 20 fun program challenges that include gaming references and colorful illustrations that the middle school crowd will enjoy, Foster has found a unique way of engaging her often hard-to-reach audience. Accessible to those with limited to no programming experience, the text provides the building blocks necessary for youth to advance to computer science courses in high school.” ―Bianca Rivera, Teacher and CoderDojo Mentor

“This is a great resource for any kid interested in programming and coding! I worked through a few of the lessons with my 9-year-old daughter, and she’s excited to keep going. The book does a great job of showing that programming is something kids can do and helps them understand how it actually works.”
―Jennifer Johnstone
