Editorial Reviews

"First purchases for most libraries. Readers looking for hands-on learning with coding will appreciate these beginner volumes."—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

From the Publisher

Gr 3–6—Each book explores the history of the programming language and its application in common websites. A Mission: Code It! link at the beginning asks readers to download an activity pack from a Lerner site. Mission HTML explains what hypertext markup language looks like while walking kids through modifying the provided files and learning a little about CSS (cascading style sheets). Ruby and Python are both powerful coding languages that are fairly simple to learn, with Mission Ruby showing readers how Ruby includes a function for reversing text that leads to them building a palindrome checker. The Mission JavaScript project has readers build a fun "guess my number" game. With simple, clean layouts and easy-to-follow directions, these books encourage kids to try new things and never give up. VERDICT First purchases for most libraries. Readers looking for hands-on learning with coding will appreciate these beginner volumes.
