New book available: Learning to Scratch: a beginner's guide to computer programming for kids

Have you always wanted to know how to make your very own video game? Then why not learn to Scratch with this new and improved text! Scratch is a fun, exciting, new programming language specifically designed for kids (and adults) with little to no background in computer programming. Simple enough for a 9 year old to follow on their own, yet sophisticated enough to use as an intro course in highschool, this full colour text takes you step-by-step through the programming process and offers end of chapter questions to check your understanding and provides challenges for readers who want to go just a little bit further. The text is designed to teach programming through fun game creation and, by the end of the book, readers will have been guided through the process of creating a variety of games and simulations which can be uploaded to the web. Readers as young as age 8 or as seasoned as 99 will enjoy entering the exciting world of computer programming with Scratch!
