Description

Python is a powerful, expressive programming language thats easy to learn and fun to use! But books about learning to program in Python can be kind of dull, gray, and boring, and thats no fun for anyone. Python for Kids brings Python to life and brings you (and your parents) into the world of programming. The ever-patient Jason R. Briggs will guide you through the basics as you experiment with unique (and often hilarious) example programs that feature ravenous monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. New terms are defined code is colored, dissected, and explained and quirky, full-color illustrations keep things on the lighter side. Chapters end with programming puzzles designed to stretch your brain and strengthen your understanding. By the end of the book youll have programmed two complete games a clone of the famous Pong and «Mr. Stick Man Races for the Exit»—a platform game with jumps, animation, and much more.
