Brilliant! Fabulous pictures that she already loves and coding lessons and samples she’ll grow into!
Well, at two years old, I don't think granddaughter babygirl is quite your target audience just yet, but as my professional coding language for forty years was C I hope to nudge her into it as soon as possible (lol, I don't know where “facilitating and encouraging" becomes "indoctrination and grooming", but we'll see!) The book is brilliant! With a coding lesson and sample code on the left-hand page and a bright entertaining colour picture on the right-hand page it is fabulous. Already she is captivated and entranced by the pictures, and I hope to edge her slowly into the coding side of the book; the example code and descriptive text look very learner-friendly.

One person found this helpful Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024 Format: Kindle Learning C programming is hard but this book made it fun and easy. I loved how quick it was and it is a great way to introduce C programming. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2024 Format: Paperback I love the concept of this book learning to code with nursery rhymes. For more novice coders you might want to explain a little bit more where they need to go in order to even start the coding of Jack Be Nimble. I know there is a section at the end that explains this, but it may be more helpful in the beginning. Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024 Format: Paperback This is a clever, ambitious way to teach C to children. Each nursery rhyme or fairy tale introduces one or more concepts of C programming. There is a lot of text to explain each concept. As someone who hasn't taught or witness programming lessons for kids, it's a little hard to know whether this is an effective method or if it's too much for them. The programs also don't do a lot; in fact, a child might go, "Why? What does this really accomplish?" But as you go through new concepts such as entering data, I feel like the purpose of each program becomes clearer. I'd like to see someone use this book with their kids in order to truly know how effective it is.
