Considering this is the “Official BBC Micro:Bit” title book, it should be good and did not disappoint. A wealth of information is there in the text and plenty of other references to external information. Easy to read, however considering showing how to do programs in different “languages” could be a bit repetitive.

Enjoy and okay. I should try a few of the tasks now and see how they go - they should be fine.
