  I honestly have to say that if you ever wanted to learn coding or anything to do with computer science well don't worry about being frustrated to find out how to begin I wish I had this book when I wanted to learn computer science The reason the book Everything You Need to Ace Computer Science and Coding in One Big Fat Notebook by Workman Publishing and Grant Smith is so wonderful is because it has every single thing you want to know about coding data algorithms web development software engineer and so much This is one huge book However it's short and huge like a dictionary but not super pocket size So you are definitely going to be covered with all the knowledge of computer science at the level of middle school reading and learning However even for a child this is perfect a middle schooler will enjoy this book It's bright in color and full of easy to understand the text and beautifully illustrated designs So much attractive than many others on the market Especially the ones the adults have to useFor an adult this is uite fun to use especially for myself I find the simplicity in the children style books to be wonderful So if you need to teach a new subject build up a new skill or learn something for your own reasons Well this really is an excellent aid It looks even like a notebook so that doesn't lie when it mentions that in the titleWhat I find super awesome about this book is that I am so much in love with coding and this book covers the basics of a few programs getting the reader a head start on Python HTML with some CSS and Scratch I mean there is much to those lessons when you work through each of those chapters So you can know that you'll get to understand each program separately and not be confused by so many in one section Additionally those who have no idea about computer science can learn what it means and what it's all about It's even a great way to introduce something new that might spark interest in future careersAs mentioned above I love that it has these wonderful illustrations which make it easy to understand There are charts examples and so much practicing that can really increase the brainpower and allow the stuff to sink in That is what makes a great skill book one that teaches and tests your knowledgeI feel I could go on and on about this book It's just magnificent So to keep from giving away all the information you can read inside I want to end with this being the easiest way to learn and understand computer science You won't find anything so interesting to look at and something that won't cause you to lose attention while reading and working out the problems Plus it really puts you in the computer seat and makes you want to try each of the different wonderful things you can do with your computer I have been given a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion and review

  I was so excited to receive our new installment in the Big Fat Notebook STEM series It did not disappoint and is an essential companion to the already released Math and Science books With key concepts explained through simple but powerful ways such as mnemonic devices definitions diagrams and doodles Computer Science and Coding helps us understand computer science in a non threatening way which is especially crucial in middle school Coding can seem daunting at first but this book made it easy and fun to learn As a school library media specialist and a leader in the MakerSpace movement in our learning community I truly believe every library should have this book on our shelves for students My daughter a tween herself and I both read this before the official release date and we both were able to learn something new For me it taught me valuable ways to explain coding to my middle schoolers and for my daughter it made learning coding elements even fun Combining this book with our homeschool curriculum with codeorg has made for some amazing learning experiences

  With everything between highlighted vocabulary words definitions and charts I'd say this book is perfect if you would like to start coding or learning about computer science It covers all the basics and major points of Scratch Python and web development Each chapter also has a 'Check Your Knowledge' section with uestions about the chapter to see whether or not you have understood what you have learnt with the answers in the next pageThe book manages to explain coding and computer science in a simple way and can make you understand the definitions of words and a lot efficiently
