Publisher's summary

Curious about coding but don’t know where to begin? What if I told you that I could empower you with the knowledge to get you started on your journey to success?

Coding for Kids is a beginner’s guide to coding for kids, young teens, and adults alike.

Coding is the modern world's DNA. To create any website, phone app, computer software, and even to make several household appliances functional requires coding. Coding is a part of all of our lives and will only become more relevant as time goes on. This is why coders play such an important role in defining the digital era and the future. The world needs coding.

Coding for Kids will help you understand the following points:

• Concept of coding a machine can understand only two types of data: off and on. These combinations are represented as zeroes and ones in binary code, with each digit representing one switch. To be able to build a computer program by writing billions of ones and zeros would necessitate superhuman powers, and even if accomplished, it would most likely take you a lifetime or more. This is where coding comes. Perks of learning to code are earning profitability, obtaining smarter perspective, better job opportunities, improved creativity, effective communication, and math skills, etc. Reliable internet sources for learning to code, include Codeacademy, Udemy, EdX.org, Lynda, etc.
• Alphabetically arranged coding terminology essential to learn for beginners, such as algorithm, array, block-based programming, bit, bug, DRY, DNS, etc.
• Description of top-five programming languages like Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Python with real-life applications to help understand the usage and functions of these languages.
• Fundamentals of HTML in detail, such as HTML elements (headings, paragraph, anchor links, forms, etc.)
• A lengthy list of basic HTML tags. 
• Fundamentals of CSS in detail, including CSS colors, measurement units, selector types, font size, etc.
• Fundamentals of JavaScript in detail, such as variable rules, operators, function, string.

Coding made easy!

I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook. As a primary school teacher, it is now required to include coding in my lessons and programs, as this will soon become (if it isn't already) an indispensable skill. My students catch on naturally, but this audiobook made coding clear and easy to understand, from the lingo/terminology and foundational skills to the practical tools. I recommend a listen to anyone, child or adult, wanting some clarity around these concepts.

wonderful learning book for my grandkids

i have 4 grandchildern and i want them to become very succsseful in the future. They enjoyed this book because it gives them a chance to become more educated on coding from a early age. As the world develops more its a early start that can gain them a head start in life. No more video games that don't teach anything. I will definitley continue with teaching them as i am learnig too.

The perfect book to learn coding!

I bought this for my nephew but wanted to listen to it first to make sure it was a quality book and it exceeded my expectations! This book is very well written, organized and narrated. The coding exercises are super fun for kids and they are gaining skills that will last a lifetime. This book is timely for the next generation as we are in the midst of the heightened digital age. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to give their kids a head start in a career area with high demand.

Game changer!

I wish they taught this when I was a kid. Total game changer for the next generation of youth. This audio book really broke it down so simple anyone could understand. Thanks for breaking it down.

Amazing!

I am really satisfied with this audiobook. It contains really useful information about coding and it explains it in a easy way. Totally recommended.

Perfect book to get your kids started with coding!

This is the perfect book to get your kids started with coding. We all know how coding will be part of their future, why not get them started earlier? This book is so helpful for parents with easy-to-understand terminology so we are better prepared as we guide our children with coding, especially for parents from non-computer backgrounds. Get this book so you know how to get your kids started!

Kids friendly

This is an excellent tool for children to learn coding. Leveled and recorded for a great understanding.

Empower your child with a life skill

I picked up this audiobook for my grandson in the hopes that he would pick up some additional life skills. By listening to the audiobook and following along in the accompanying PDF guide, he was able to quickly grasp the key concepts being presented. Coming from a computer science and teaching background, I found this guide to be a great primer for any child curious about programming applications. The guide is just the right length in terms of the concepts being shared as well as not being too technical and overwhelming. Kudos to the author! Highly recommended listen.

Get started coding with it!

This audiobook introduces many common coding like HTML, CCS, java, and recently popular one, Python. There are many examples below every code so kids can see how it is written and then copy and edit it themselves, and there is a PDF to check your coding. Recommend for parents to listen with their kids as it's always great spending time studying new things with your family.
