By the end, children will have learned how to write a programme in the three most important programming languages: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Designed as a game in which kids use their new coding skills to help characters Professor Bairstone and Dr Day protect the valuable Monk Diamond it's lots of fun, and there are clear step-by-step instructions, regular checklists and lots of opportunities to practise what you’ve learned. A practical, useful and well-thought-out guide. ~ Andrea Reece
