Randy LynnCoding Concepts for Kids: Learn to Code Without a Computer

My 8 years old son finished it in 2 days. Almost 2 hours. This is basic book to start with even for older kids if no knowledge of coding. It helps to develop some concept of loop, variables, debugging etc etc in very easy way.

This is actually really interesting. The person it was gifted to has started to learn coding from it.

It's alright for some basic concepts but it isn't nearly as extensive and detailed as I was hoping for. But it's good for teaching them basic commands or how to use things like RPG Maker on steam. Still 4 stars because it has paired well with RPG Maker to make it seem less intimidating as they at least know some of the terms to start. They've still been having a lot of fun with their own simple little projects. Especially once I taught them how to navigate the system.

Coding Concepts is a book I would read together with my niece and work on the different exercises. It is clear and breaks down into helpful exercises and steps so that you can check your learning throughout.

A a teacher trying to inspire the next generation to love STEAM, I enjoyed the easy language that can be used for all students, the exercises that are simple yet very practical and interactive. The way the concepts are explained and practiced makes it easy and fun for the children. I can envision a child eager to go and try the practical phase on the computers and exploring the unbounded limits of their creativity!

We know that coding can be challenging. My son loves video games and I am always telling him that he can make his own video games. He asked how? that's when I started talking to him about coding. I wanted to introduce him to coding in a fun way and I am glad I found this book. Now, he is always reading the book and learning while having fun doing the tasks.

This book is quite exciting, as it teaches the principles of coding to you kids - WITHOUT increasing their daily screen time! Of course we already know that our future world leaders will be tech savvy coders and engineers. This is a great way to build those foundations for our young future leaders!I received a free copy from the publisher prior to release, but I've already bought 3 more copies, which I'll give as Christmas gifts to several great young people.

Bind and print is good. Info is helpful
