Python for Kids, 2nd edition by Jason Briggs

I had an earlier edition of the grown-up version of this book and figured I couldn't go wrong with this one. Got this as a gift for a younger relative and he absolutely loved the book. It kept things easy to understand and follow while helping him feel like he was actually creating something with it. It's a great price and hopefully he'll continue to be interested in Python in the years to come.

This is a book suposedly written for kids but teaches pyton masterfully for all ages.

I'm an adult who's struggled to learn to code, but I keep at it. Python is useful for emerging AI applications, and it seems pretty straightforward, so I decided to try again. It seems some of the examples are out of date, and by that, I mean not supported in the most recent release of Python. For example, the .format method is now required for the example on page 30. Lucky for me, I knew just enough to seek out how to resolve the error I got using the example code. There are also some other confusing things, like a puzzle that wants you to write a program that prints out what your weight would be on the moon if you gained 2 pounds every year for 15 years. Simple enough, I guess, except for some reason, the answer key has you convert (incorrectly, even, using 2 rather than 2.2) to kilograms before you even begin for no clear reason. I'm sure a kid would struggle with some of these types of issues. It's slowing me down, that's for sure. But all in all, it's the right level of explanation for a complete newbie and getting me closer to overcoming my fear of coding, so for that, definitely 4 stars.

Práctico y sencillo para el aprendizaje

I'm in an IT course with a heavy focus on cybersecurity and I'm terrified of coding. I got this book for myself and hid it from my friends and so far its really great content to ease me into Python. Thankfully I feel a little better about this all since the book said its for brand new adults as well.

I'm about to turn 43... I bought this for myself. I've always wanted to learn coding and this felt like a less pressured way to experience it. I've completed the first chapter and am excited for the rest. I want to teach my 3 boys how to code because it'll be an essential skill going forward. Definitely worth the investment!

Fast shipping no issues

I'm a retired software developer having had a great career and developed all kinds of firmware/software for microcontrollers using assembly languages to enterprise applications in Java. I was asked to teach my grandkids Computer Science so I spent some time contemplating where to start. Having began programming in the 1970's using BASIC, I decided that a simple user friendly interpreted language would be helpful. Though I never used it professionally, I started tinkering with Python and I got hooked. After sampling many books I found this one and it seemed to be very approachable for my young students. So far it has worked well for us although the author occasionally uses a concept without explaining it first. But then again that's what I'm there to do.

Very good!

Just epic. I learned coding very easily through this book

Python の文法をサンプルプログラムを例に取り分かり易い説明である。サンプルプログラムは参考になる物が幾つかあった。
