I've been doing software for nearly 30 years, MS in CS to boot. I looked through the table of contents and would not recommend this for those beginning to learn. The best way to learn is to pick a language you think you would like and start making software with it. When you outgrow that language pick another and rinse and repeat. Once you get a feel for a few languages then start learning data structures and algorithms.

There's a million and two awesome intro to programming courses available for free on the internet. FreeCodeCamp will teach you everything in this book. My personal favorite intro book is Learn To Program by Chris Pine. Happy coding folks.

It sure seems like just (1) choosing a language and (2) starting to make software with it skips a number of crucial steps. What about actually learning the language, for example?

30 years ago, that will be Pascal, Fortran and Cobol, that bring back a good memory.

How do you think Kirk passed the Kobayashi Maru test?

I'm more interested in something not video-based (okay for demo purpose, but I prefer to read) that covers setting up your development environment, and compares options for different IDEs, etc. I used to program back in the heyday of 8-bit computers, so I understand the basic theory, and how PCs work at their lowest levels, but I need to catch up on the past few decades.

40 years ago it was C and Basic for me. 30 years ago, I was actually doing VC.

I skipped the whole Pascal, Assembly, Cobol, etc train and am still glad I did Smilie

Is there a good online course for learning programming for 12 yr old beginners. I browsed through some courses on urlhasbeenblocked, Coursera etc. but the content seemed a little advanced for beginners.
All these course forget the imp thing that kids don't have the attention span of an adult unless its a videogame ofcourse Smilie

The real skill will be prompt engineer for chatGPT. But coding skills are important for making tweaks. We're all living in a simulation anyways. If you can code, you can create your own simulation. A world within a world.
