"Computer programming is a powerful tool for children to 'learn learning,' that is, to learn the skills of thinking and problem-solving...Children who engage in programming transfer that kind of learning to other things."--Nicholas Negroponte, the man behind the One Laptop Per Child project that hopes to put a computer in the hands of every child on earth, January 2008
Your computer won't respond when you yell at it. Why not learn to talk to your computer in its own language? Whether you want to write games, start a business, or you're just curious, learning to program is a great place to start. Plus, programming is fun!
Hello World! provides a gentle but thorough introduction to the world of computer programming. It's written in language a 12-year-old can follow, but anyone who wants to learn how to program a computer can use it. Even adults. Written by Warren Sande and his son, Carter, and reviewed by professional educators, this book is kid-tested and parent-approved.
You don't need to know anything about programming to use the book. But you should know the basics of using a computer--e-mail, surfing the web, listening to music, and so forth. If you can start a program and save a file, you should have no trouble using this book.

This is an excellent text to begin learning Python. Not only does it cover the basics but it does so in a way that removes "Geek-Speak" and explains in simple and appropriate analogies that kids and new software learners can understand. Easy and hands-on mini programs provide the user with immediate feedback so they know they are on the right track. Python is a wonderful language to learn because of its simplicity and power and sets you up with other computer languages in the future. Don't overlook this gem. It is not just for kids!

The book is good enough and well written, but do not purchase if you have a Macintosh. Getting the numerous prerequisite applications installed on Mac OS X Snow Leopard is difficult if not impossible (I haven't managed to do it yet, but I'm not quite ready to give up).
If you use a Windows machine, it will probably be fine, but for me the book is useless since I can't follow along on my computer. I'm very disappointed and would have expected a much easier installation from a book marketed for kids and beginners. The way it stands, you're literally opening Unix terminal windows and typing in complex commands to attempt the installation.

The book is great. I am already on chapter 5. The chapters are very short and easy. You feel like your not reading so much. I guess the planned it that way. LOL.
I have to say, I took a programming course in college and it bored the heck out of me and was so complicated; It was C++. I heard it was a tough language to learn, but it should not be. I ended up passing on programming as a specific mastery.
Well this book is the best thing since sliced bread. It teaches to apply all the terms to every language and Python is really easy to interpret and use. All those terms that were stored away and I never understood are easy now with this book. I already started making a program unrelated to the book, just with the first 5 chapters. I already am thinking with the programming language instead of fighting it.
The main reason I wanted to program was to create apps for upcoming samrtphones and mainly Google Android. I have to say within the next 6 months with some additional learning, I should be just fine.

I saw this book reviewed on my Lockergnome newsletter and when I looked it up on Amazon I thought its worth a shot. I am a networking major but have always wanted to learn programming. Every book I had looked at until this one was written in terms that only a current programmer could understand. The authors did a very good job breaking things down and explaining the steps and what they mean and why they are important or not. This book is highly recommended for ANYONE wanting to learn programming in an easy to understand way. Great Job and Kudos to the authors!

Ive been looking for a good foundation programming book for along time. This is the best book by far that I have found. I am an adult but a child in computer programming. I new someone could write a book like this. I wish the author would write a book on database concepts, and some other computer languages as well. He proved what I already new and that is that a programming book could be written that didn't make you feel that you were learning a foreign language. Why authors would puff ego ( Im smart ) rather than write an efficient understandable book, I'll never know for sure but my only guess is to elliminate the # of people with the knowledge to increse the value of a programmer. But that wont give you good book sales, so whats the point of even writing it. Thankyou Warren and Carter.
