Python for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming


Python for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming by Jason R. Briggs brings Python to life and you (and your parents) into the world of programming. Author gives you through the basics as you experiment with distinctive (and sometimes hilarious) example programs that feature ravenous monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. New terms are defined; code is colored, dissected, and defined; and quirky, full-color illustrations preserve issues on the lighter side.

Chapters end with programming puzzles designed to stretch your brain and strengthen your understanding. By the end of the book you will have programmed two full games: a clone of the famous Pong and "Mr. Stick Man Races for the Exit"-a platform game with jumps, animation, and more.

As you strike out in your programming journey, you'll learn to use elementary knowledge constructions like lists, tuples, and maps, arrange and reuse your code with functions and modules, use control buildings like loops and conditional statements, draw shapes and patterns with Python's turtle module, create games, animations, and different graphical wonders with tkinter. Why should severe adults have all the enjoyable? This book is your ticket into the superb world of computer programming.

The code on this book runs on nearly anything: Home windows, Mac, Linux, even an OLPC laptop computer or Raspberry Pi! Python is a powerful, expressive programming language that is simple to study and enjoyable to use! However books about studying to program in Python can be form of uninteresting, gray, and boring, and that is no fun for anyone.
