Becoming a coder is all fun and games!

Everyone should learn to code. Much like drawing and sketching, playing an instrument, cooking, or taking pictures and shooting videos, coding is a creative endeavor, which means its a way to actually create stuff, and creating stuff is incredibly rewarding and satisfying. Sure, its fun to spend hours on your phone looking at what other people have created; but thats nothing compared to the joy and satisfaction of creating things that other people consume and use. Yep, coding is fun!

And if that werent enough, when you learn to code you develop all sorts of invaluable skills and traits beyond just coding. These include planning, problem solving, communication, logic, empathy, attention to detail, patience, resilience, persistence, and creativity. And it turns out that these skills (especially creativity and creative problem solving) are some of the most in-demand out there. So, coding will help your future career, too, regardless of what that career may be.

But, where to start?

Captain Code is a welcoming, engaging, and fun introduction to becoming a coder, designed for the young (ages 10-17) and young-at-heart. Experienced educators and coders Ben & Shmuel Forta will guide you using Python, one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Youll learn by creating games, yes, games, from simple projects to retro text-based adventures to complete graphical arcade style games. Captain Code is 400 glossy color pages of goodness packed with welcoming images, useful tips and tidbits, and engaging, readable text that focuses on doing while having fun. All code listings are in full-color and QR codes link to bonus content, downloads, challenge solutions, and more.

Captain Code makes coding exciting and rewarding, as it prepares a new generation to take their next steps forwardin education, careers, or both.

So, are you ready to unleash your coding superpower and become Captain Code?

Acknowledgments

Ben Forta

Its hard to believe that Ive been writing and publishing for 25 years! Pearson was the publisher for my very first book back in 1996, and since then weve collaborated in creating and publishing over 40 titles. Together we have educated and inspired developers (and future developers) the world over. Looking back over a quarter of a century, I can truly say thank you for all these years of dedication and support. This book is the first Ive written for young people, so extra thanks for trusting our vision and giving us authors the freedom and flexibility to create this title as we saw fit.

In particular, thanks to Kim Spencely for shepherding this title from concept to fruition, and to Chris Zahn for (once again) providing his development expertise.

For the past few years Ive had the pleasure of leading a Robotics class at Farber Hebrew Day School in Southfield, MI. When COVID wreaked havoc on teaching, we pivoted to online classes and I used the opportunity to improve my students coding skills by teaching them Python. Those students were my guinea pigs, and those lessons were the impetus for this title. So, thank you FHDS for giving me the opportunity to inspire your students, and thank you students for helping me learn how to best teach you.

Thanks to our son Eli, a super talented designer and up-and-coming architect, for creating the image assets provided with this book.

And finally, thanks to our son Shmuel, a brilliant engineer, passionate educator, and my collaborator on this title. Ive worked with co-authors on about half of my books, and, if Im being honest, Id much rather write all by myself. This collaboration was an exception. Shmuels experience helped shape this volume, his insights can be felt on every page, and working with him has been a source of joy and pride. Thank you!
