This extremely user-friendly and accessible guide book will teach children the basics of Python, enabling them to create their own games and simple animations. Now that computers and coding are compulsory school topics in the UK it will prove very useful. Step by step instructions take children through the basics and it’s cleverly and clearly laid out on colour pages filled with diagrams and tip boxes. Key ideas about coding in general are also included. Ring binding means that it opens flat on the desk or can be propped up open next to the computer screen. A really well thought-out and effective information book. ~ Andrea Reece

Coding for Beginners: Using Python Synopsis
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. Python is considered a 'first language' for computer programming, this book acts as a handy guidebook providing the most relevant and useful instructions, terminology and examples.
Python is one of the most popular programmes used in UK primary schools. This book is based on the desktop version, suitable for PCs/Macs (NB Python is currently not available for mobile devices).
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!
