Review by Booklist Review

Python is a free coding program language, and this inviting volume written by a computer science teacher introduces new coders to the concept of writing programs in Python and offers 30 projects that will interest readers. The book begins with an easily understandable introduction that describes coding, reasons for learning to code, particulars about Python, and how to install it. Page by page, things get more intensive as the basics of coding and algorithms are explained. Some kids will breeze through this step-by-step information, while others may need some help, but those who persevere will find many interesting projects, including making chatbots, geometric art, interactive fiction, and games. The format, full of computer-generated illustrations, is designed for clarity and pushes kids along as they heighten their skills. A What's Next? section offers even more resources for readers who want to expand their skills further yet, as well as a basic glossary and additional reading on the topic. Beginners as well as the more adept should find this of interest.--Ilene Cooper Copyright 2019 Booklist
