Even though this book is primarily for Kids I would recommend it for all ages.Anyone who is a complete novice with with computer coding will find this book simple to understand with easy to follow instructions and diagrams

The first chapter was great, the rest just could have been better for me. I feel like though it presents coding in a specific website/software, it could have presented skills that can be generalized with other software. Seems like it would be good for kids though!

This book is easy to understand, and it does talk about coding. My problem with it is that it is a book to support the computer program: Microworlds Ex. It is more of a how-to manual for the software than a book about coding in general. You have to read the back of the book to find this out. It should be on the front as well. Purchasing the book allows you a short trial period of the program for free or a discounted purchase price of Microworlds EX. The program gets good reviews and it might be worth checking out, but as far as a book about coding, go for another book.
