Hello World!: Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners

Your computer won't respond when you yell at it, so why not talk to it in its own language? If you learn to program, you can do just that. You'll be able to do really cool things quickly, and even make your own games! Programming is fun!

Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners is a wonderfully written introduction to programming. Using fun examples, it brings computing concepts to life-concepts like memory, loops, decisions, input and output, data, and graphics. It's written in a language a kid can follow, but anyone who wants to program a computer can use this book. Even adults!

Hello World! uses Python, the programming language also chosen for the One Laptop Per Child Project. Readers with no previous knowledge of computing will be programing in no time at all.
