Coding for Kids: Python: Learn to Code with 50 Awesome Games and Activities

I bought this book for my son who was interested in programming. He found it helpful. He did go on to becoming a web and game developer.

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.

My grandson got ahold of this book and it's amazing what he has learned in the first month, we have weekly coding lessons.

I bought it today. Will update in a month. So far excellent. Me and My 8 years old son loved it. Also I'll teach my 12 years old with the same book.

This is hands down the easiest to learn for kids who have no clue about Python coding. Fun and comes with 50 awesome games and activities.

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.

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.
