Synopsis

Help your children learn to code and even learn something yourself with this complete coding overview! The last book in the How to Code series, this is an invaluable guide for parents and teachers that provides an overview of the topics covered in the previous four books written for children. With background information, troubleshooting and extra activities to support children (and grown-ups!) in learning key coding concepts, this is the perfect accompanying text to the series. The How to Code books introduce coding through clear and concise information, teamed with simple and practical tasks, from drawing shapes, giving instructions in code, building games and much more!
