Coding for Beginners Using Scratch

by Rosie Dickins

An introduction to coding for complete beginners, this friendly and accessible book will teach children the basics of Scratch (a free, online programme developed by MIT which is widely used in primary schools), allowing them to get inside the code of their computer and create simple games and animations on screen. Computer coding is now a compulsory topic on the UK National Primary Curriculum and this book backs up what is being taught 'Code Clubs' in schools. A return to the days when Usborne was a market-leader in computer books for children. Many of today's tech professionals were inspired by Usborne's coding books from the 1980s!

This was a very good book. Unfortunately it is now obsolete as it was written for Scratch 2.0 which has been superseded by Scratch 3.0. Hopefully the author will update with a new edition.

Ga ngerti coding2an... jadi cuman baca cepat. Bukunya berwarna-warni di tiap lembarnya, banyak gambar karakternya, banyak bagan yang ngebantu anak2 buat belajar lebih mudah. Kayanya tahapan proses belajarnya di buku ini jelas dan mudah untuk dimengerti buat anak-anak. ada 11 projek pertama, termasuk belajar menggambar karakter buat gamesnya. Dan ada 4 contoh games yang bisa coba dibuat.

selain menggunakan scratch ada juga yang seri buku lain yang menggunakan phyton. semoga suatu hari nanti buku ini bisa berguna.

bintang akan bertambah klo sudah diujicobakan pada anak-anak dan mereka bisa mengikuti instruksinya :D

I loved how this book taught me something. I liked the little diblets. It was very, very fun. I learned that you have to say command and you have to say stop! Scratch is great for making games. I will read it again. I totally want to try to do scratch it looks like do much fun.

I love coding so much that this is a good book for me! I really like this book because I like coding. When I grow up I want to be a scientist and engineer.

My copy isn't "for mobile devices" and the cover image you have here isn't for mobile devices. But anyway. Good book. I recommend it to anyone wanting some guidance in creating scratch projects.
