Gr 7 Up—Coding and using coding tools have become essential elements of middle school and high school curriculum, just as learning to read is part of elementary school. And just as we create materials for what we used to call "reluctant readers," we ought to have materials for "reluctant coders." This series is just that—text-based tutorials, written in a conversational tone and full of examples and analogies, that walk these learners through easily achievable activities to a successful working result. The choice of programs and languages is good—Python, SQL, and HTML open doors to learning more advanced programming languages; Sonic Pi is a good introduction to Ruby; Unity gets kids started with C++; and Twine, Scratch, and Mindstorms are great for kids interested in gaming, animation, or robotics. VERDICT Coding is for everyone with these conversational guides.
