Computer coding may not be the easiest skill to master, but it is definitely a useful one to have. Coding for Beginners using Scratch does an excellent job of making it a fun and accessible journey for even the youngest readers. With all terms explained throughout the book and colourful, creative images to help readers along the way, they will be designing balloon sprites and heroes for their own games before you know it.
It is both a great starter lesson for moving on to more advanced software and a book to give you a new hobby with which to impress friends. ~ Andrea Reece
