With this visual guide to computer programming for beginners, it has never been easier to learn how to code.

Coding skills are in high demand and the need for programmers is still growing. Covering three of the most popular languages for new coders, this book uses a graphic method to break complex subjects into user-friendly chunks, bringing essential skills within easy reach. Each chapter contains tutorials on practical projects designed to teach you the main applications of each language, such as building websites, creating games, and designing apps. The book also looks at many of the main coding languages that are out there, outlining the key applications of each language, so you can choose the right language for you.

You'll learn to think like a programmer by breaking a problem down into parts, before turning those parts into lines of code. Short, easy-to-follow steps then show you, piece by piece, how to build a complete program. There are challenges for you to tackle to build your confidence before moving on.

Written by a team of expert coders and coding teachers, Beginner's Step-by-Step Coding Course is the ideal way to get to set you on the road to code.

    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
