Get Coding!: Learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript & build a website, app & game by Young Rewired State

The Get Coding book is a positive addition to school curriculum or library programming. It helps students learn how to think, code, and create useful resources for themselves and others. The images visually direct the learning, while the text reinforces with instructional language. The learning is broken into segments or chunks to help the learner understand, experience, and practice the learning. The writing in the book is “kid” oriented and practical. Most kids will have a positive learning experience in groups or individually while using the book. The learning mechanism provided in “Get Coding…” supports the current trend to begin coding early in K-6 education. Coding in general supports structural and sequential thinking. A key aspect of the book is learning within a creative environment. Recommended.
