Everything You Need to Ace Computer Science and Coding in One Big Fat Notebook: The Complete Middle School Study Guide (Big Fat Notebooks)

Help out got a A

This is much easier to read for a beginner.

Well written, Art style is great. Wish I could have had this when I was in school 20 years ago. Though younger me would have probably taken it for granted.I would recommend for anyone trying to understand the basics. Though if you are good at browsing, you can learn all of this on your own, but it is nice to have it all in one place.

"Notebook" everything

So far the Everything book series, have been good and useful.

are good study guide books

This is an awesome book for the average person who wants to learn about computers, and computer software engineering. I took some computer programming back in the 1980s, and this book has refreshed my memory, and also introduced me to "block" (Graphical) Programming using the 'SCRATCH' language/compiler. Wish that they had, had that back in the 90s, as typing in the code for each command was a 'PIA'.They also talk about a Programming Language called Python, that uses the traditional style, but w/out the "line numbers" that were required by BASIC, and GWBASIC that were popular in the '80s. This book is based, supposedly, on the notes that cover(ed) what was taught in a class offered in a middle school.This book is 560+ pages long, and also has beautiful graphical illustrations. This book was written for students, so it isn't loaded with terms and concepts that are way above the average person's head. Unlike many books on computers and programming, you don't need an engineering degree to understand it.Unlike many more expensive books this one has:1) a 'stitched' binding, thus the pages won't fall out like with glued bindings, a durable semi-hard (stiff) binding.2) a 'color coded table of contents.3) a copious index of topics and items covered in the text.4) tons of beautiful and fun illustrations.5) quizzes on what was covered in the chapter to which attached.6) an unbelievably low price.

8th Grade Homeschool Review:As a parent and homeschool educator, I've been using a set of books for 8th-grade homeschooling, and I'd like to share my thoughts. These books have proven to be a valuable resource in our homeschool journey. They provide a solid foundation for various subjects, covering a wide range of topics essential for 8th-grade students.What I appreciate most about these books is their comprehensive approach. They offer a well-structured curriculum that allows students to delve into subjects such as mathematics, science, literature, and history. The content is clear, and the exercises and activities help reinforce the learning process.However, it's worth noting that while these books are fantastic as guides, they might not provide all the answers. As with any educational materials, there may be moments when students need additional support or clarification. In such cases, we've found supplemental videos and other educational resources to be incredibly helpful. The combination of these books and supplementary materials has been the key to a well-rounded education.Subnote:This review is intended to serve as a general overview for all the books I'm currently using for 8th-grade homeschooling. If any of the books stand out, either for their exceptional quality or shortcomings, I will provide a more detailed review for that specific book. It's all about ensuring that our homeschooling experience is as enriching as possible.
