Table of Contents

Introduction

So youre interested in coding and want to learn how to create computer software and games. Or maybe you want to learn how to code so that one day you can become a hacker (no, theyre not evil). In either case, you took the first step on your journey to become a programmer by picking up this book! Awesome!

Programming isnt just about writing boring code every day. It involves creativity and a love for solving puzzles. It can be used to create art, design websites, develop games, build graphical simulations, tell stories, and send ships into space. Theres something for everyone!

Being able to code opens up a whole universe of possibilities, and this book is here to guide you and give you the tools you need to achieve your dreams. Throughout these pages, youll learn something new that you can share with your friends, family, and online communities of coders from around the world. Its like entering a special club.

Whats just as important, and probably the most important, is that youll finally be able to understand all the tech jokes you hear in movies. For instance, do you know what happened when the programmers wife sent him to the grocery store? She told him to buy a loaf of bread, and if they also had eggs, to buy a dozen. The programmer went to the store, doing as he was told, and he came back carrying a dozen loaves of bread and he told his wife, Yup, they had eggs. Dont get it? Well, then you need to learn how to code!

About the Book

Interest in learning about technology and programming is higher than ever before, but few schools have started teaching kids coding classes. Most kids have to find a camp for young programmers, or go take private lessons. But you dont have to now, because you have this book to guide you and teach you the ways of the programmer.

Computer Coding for Kids will give you all the basic tools and teach you the fundamentals you need to become a programmer. Everything youll learn in this book can be applied in the real world, no matter which programming language youll later choose to focus on. Heres a breakdown of what youre about to explore:

1. Programming fundamentals : Most programming languages are built on the same principles. This means that if you learn the basic concepts of coding, such as loops, conditionals, and functions, youll know how to use them whether youre coding in Python, JavaScript, or C++. Mastering the fundamentals is the most important part of programming, even though at times it might seem boring because it involves a lot of theory. But by building a strong foundation, youll be able to do anything you want. You can become a game developer, a cybersecurity specialist, software engineer, data scientist, and so much more.
2. Scratch : This is one of the most popular programming learning tools developed at MIT. This is an ideal start for many young children that want to learn coding on their own or with the help of their parents and educators. Instead of focusing on writing complex lines of code, Scratch involves using language blocks. Its kind of like playing with LEGO bricks and using your creativity to build something. This way, Scratch allows children to develop a logical way of thinking and solving problems, both of which are crucial skills in programming. In addition, Scratch also has an online community that can teach you how to work with others.
3. JavaScript : Youll also have a taste of JavaScript, which is a language used to develop online applications and websites. Nowadays, this language allows you to jump in a lot easier than ever before because it allows you to also work with premade blocks, just like Scratch. But, you can also switch to text mode and write the lines of code yourself once you become more familiar with programming concepts.
4. Python : Arguably one of the most versatile and powerful languages, Python is also one of the easiest to learn. Python is used for many things, including software development, game development, robotics, data science, machine learning, and much more. The reason for its popularity isnt just because it can do practically anything, but because its language syntax is simple. Python is one of the few languages thats very close to English. This makes it easy to understand just by learning the basic programming concepts and techniques.
5. Other languages : In addition to the above programming languages, you will also be introduced to other languages like Java and C#.

Requirements

Learning how to code and create software isnt rocket science, but you still need to fulfill a set of requirements before getting started. So, heres what youre going to need:

This handy programming guide. Youre already reading this, so thats already off the checklist. Keep the book nearby at all times and revisit things you dont remember or fully understand. Dont worry if you dont understand things perfectly. Programming is learned through practice, not just by reading books.

A computer with an Internet connection. You probably already have this because its pretty difficult to start coding without a computer. Plus, you need to download some tools and do additional research or join communities for programmers.

Computer basics. To learn how to program, you first need to be able to use a computer at least at a basic level. This means that you already played some computer games, used some apps, and that you understand how to find your way around a user interface.

Tolerate math. Many programming concepts actually come from mathematics. After all, you will have to perform some mathematical operations, logical operations, or just work with numbers in general. You dont have to like math, but you need to be willing to learn some. Dont worry if you think youre bad at it because a lot of beginner programmers actually find it much easier to learn math through coding examples than through a teacher thats trying to shove math in their brains.
