Reviews
“A middle school student with no programming experience could pick up this title and quickly begin writing text-based programming. This book is particularly relevant to libraries trying to beef up their STEAM offerings.”
—School Library Connection
“The book is an excellent resource for any parent or teacher looking to provide a gentle introduction to coding. The ambitious middle schooler might also find it a suitable read to tackle on their own.”
—Zen and the Art of Programming (Read More)
“This book is for anyone who is interested in learning more about the basics of computer programming in a fun and engaging way. I highly recommend Learn to Program with Small Basic and Microsoft’s excellent Small Basic programming language.”
