A great way to get young students to learn about coding ... both in a book and online!

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn about programming and what it’s all about. Not to worry, Data Duck will get you started. He tells us that “a computer programmer is someone who writes programs that tell a computer what to do.” Data Duck will get you going by giving you some instructions. You can learn as you go by actually practicing what you know online ... in real time! Of course we’re getting ahead of ourselves because first of all you’ll have to learn some “key terms” such as algorithm, objects, Java, program, syntax, coordinates, HTML, Python, and Scratch.Already overwhelmed? Don’t be because Data Duck will lead you through all the steps you need to take to learn some basics. When the programmer tells a computer what to do it uses a “list of instructions,” an algorithm. The language that your computer understands is called a “code.” Now in order for your computer to understand what you are instructing it to do, it will need “step-by-step instructions.” Data Duck lets you know that you have to give very clear, exact instructions or the program just won’t work.Now, Data Duck goes over all those “different languages” you’ll need so your computer can understand what you are instructing it to do. He tells you that they are HTML, Scratch, Python, and Java. Data Duck tells you a bit about each one. For example, he says that “Scratch was written for kinds to help them make their own computer programs” and that “It uses blocks that we can snap together to build instruction lists.” In this book you’ll also learn about the need to follow rules, bugs ‘n debugging, how computers make decisions, location instructions, coordinates, and you’ll learn many more interesting things about computer programming!This is a basic book about computer programming for young students. This is a curriculum-based beginning chapter book that would be perfect to help launch our youngest computer buffs into coding. This book can / should be used in conjunction with the blue {shift} website where children can practice what they’ve learned. There are exercises that can be worked on at home or in a classroom. For example, you can learn more about debugging, writing programs, learn to predict what programs will do, and work with coordinates. Of course Data Duck will be there to help. This series, “Kids Get Coding,” is an excellent one to the world of coding.Reading Level: Grade 3Interest Grade Level: 1 to 4KIDS GET CODING:Coding, Bugs, and FixesLearn to ProgramOnline Safety for CodersA World of ProgrammingThis book courtesy of the publisher.

misleading title...should be called....intro to coding or concepts of coding

this book is a series of simple tasks/games that introduces kids to the CONCEPTS of CODING...Dont expect your kids to learn computer programming just with this ...you have to sit with them and hand hold them if your early elementary aged kids, also kids need to be able to read on their own before they can use this book

SO CUTE AND WONDERFUL

I loved this book! This is the perfect beginner book for anyone (even adults) to learn to program. This instructions are clear, the activities are cute and interesting and the illustrations are adorable! A wonderful book to have in a home or classroom!

Well-meaning but wrong

This book tries to teach kids about programming, but some of the things it teaches are obviously wrong. There's an example with some center justified python code, even though white space matters in python.

Just the basics!

Good, though very basic book on coding--probably best for the very young (up to early elementary). It does a nice job of explaining the basics of coding (so much so that clueless adults who are reading it out loud might learn a few things!) Nicely laid out and good illustrations.Rating: 4 stars / B+I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
