The second edition of the best-selling Python for Kids--which brings you (and your parents) into the world of programming--has been completely updated to use the latest version of Python, along with tons of new projects

Python is a powerful programming language that's easy to learn and fun to use But books about programming in Python can be dull and that's no fun for anyone.

Python for Kids brings kids (and their parents) into the wonderful world of programming. Jason R. Briggs guides you through the basics, experimenting with unique (and hilarious) example programs featuring ravenous monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. New terms are defined; code is colored and explained; puzzles stretch the brain and strengthen understanding; and full-color illustrations keep you engaged throughout.

By the end of the book, you'll have programmed two games: a clone of the famous Pong, and "Mr. Stick Man Races for the Exit"--a platform game with jumps and animation.

This second edition is revised and updated to reflect Python 3 programming practices. There are new puzzles to inspire you and two new appendices to guide you through Python's built-in modules and troubleshooting your code.

As you strike out on your programming adventure, you'll learn how to:

Use fundamental data structures like lists, tuples, and dictionaries
Organize and reuse your code with functions and modules
Use control structures like loops and conditional statements
Draw shapes and patterns with Python's turtle module
Create games, animations, and other graphical wonders with tkinter

Why should serious adults have all the fun? Python for Kids is your ticket into the amazing world of computer programming.

Covers Python 3.x which runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, even Raspberry Pi
