With this visual guide to computer programming for beginners, it has never been easier to learn how to code.
Coding skills are in high demand and the need for programmers is still growing. Covering three of the most popular languages for new coders, this book uses a graphic method to break complex subjects into user-friendly chunks, bringing essential skills within easy reach. Each chapter contains tutorials on practical projects designed to teach you the main applications of each language, such as building websites, creating games, and designing apps. The book also looks at many of the main coding languages that are out there, outlining the key applications of each language, so you can choose the right language for you.
You’ll learn to think like a programmer by breaking a problem down into parts, before turning those parts into lines of code. Short, easy-to-follow steps then show you, piece by piece, how to build a complete program. There are challenges for you to tackle to build your confidence before moving on.
Written by a team of expert coders and coding teachers, Beginner’s Step-by-Step Coding Course is the ideal way to get to set you on the road to code.

Must Have For Beginner Coders
I am just starting out learning the concepts of coding, because I would like to start making my own video games as a hobby. I have purchased other “how-to” guides for beginners, which ended up being very confusing and required a more intermediate level of knowledge with coding. I am very happy with this book, as it provides straightforward and easy to understand lessons in four different coding languages, along with access to a free-to-use coding program so you can practice each lesson step-by-step in real time. The book is very colorful and laid out well with lots of pictures to illustrate each step in the process. I highly recommend this book for people like me, who are just starting out with coding and want to grasp the fundamentals before jumping into the deep end.

High quality!
I am not a seasoned programmer, so I cannot compare this to other resources available. Regarding the book itself, though, it is very high quality. The book itself is a hard cover with very high production values. Everything is illustrated and easy to understand. Like I said, I cannot vouch for the nitty-gritty that an expert might be able to, but from my perspective, this is a great place to start as a beginner.

Great for begginers
For a true beginner like myself, this book is easy to follow.
Not worth it –
Great intro book
This is a very intriguing and informative introduction book to coding concepts. Learning from material other than a screen has been helpful for me, and brought some joy back into learning!

So excellent choice
I gave this a five star because I ordered this gift for a family member and so far they like it

Great
This version is a little outdated to some programs now BUT with ChatGPT I’ve been able to run through the instructions easily. It’s extremely well-written and makes it fun to learn. Worth asking ChatGPT what’s wrong when something doesn’t work (it’ll tell you the update that made the code not work and how to fix it) because it’s the easiest time I’ve had trying to learn something brand new on my own.

Nice starting point
I like how this book takes you from complete newbie and teaches about more complex languages and processes. wont make you a master programmer but it will give you tools you can use.

Le design est vraiment sympa mais une fois cela passé des informations importantes sont manquantes et dâautres sont incomplètes. Les exercices de mise en pratique sont assez sympa mais ce qui ressort est que le livre en général mériterait dâêtre plus complet.Comme premier pas dans ce monde theodinproject est plus intéressant.
