Industry Reviews

"Change in education and schooling comes in waves, and coding, computer science, and computational thinking represent the next very big wave. This very readable book will introduce teachers, parents and students to the future." -- Dr Neil MacNeill, PhD, EdD. This book will help a lot of educators take their first steps toward bringing high quality programming experiences to their students. It offers clear examples and good strategies supported by research and best practices. -- Sylvia Martinez Wondering whether this book is for you? Check out the "dos and don'ts" of Chapter 5 and then take them to heart. I did! -- Dr. James Cohoon This book is so clear and so encouraging. I recommend it to my Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS) leaders as we work to incorporate more computer science into our activities. The authors present a comprehensive introduction to computing in a way that's useful, readable, and fun. -- Laura Reasoner Jones
