Review

This book was written by a group of techy kids from around the world known as Young Rewired State. It is written in a way that is very engaging and challenging, and appropriate for kids grade 4 and up. As the reader works their way through various "missions" they learn to write code in HTML, CSS and JavaScript these being the most important programming languages to know for building websites, building programs and apps and games. The goal of each mission is for the learn to continue to develop their programming skills as they work to complete each mission. In the beginning you are given a brief history of computer programming, the different parts of computer programming, and information on some of the leaders in the field. They explain how to use the book, key skills you need to know written out in detail. I feel this book will be a great learning tool and resource for anyone wanting to learn how to write code.

Overall Book Score: very good
