Review: Great Introduction to Python for any age group - My child is starting a Computer Science GCSE and will be using Python, so I ordered a few "starter" books to see which I felt would be most enjoyable and appropriate. One reviewer criticised this one for being a "cartoon book", but I felt the colourful presentation and information boxes were more likely to appeal to a teenager, rather than the other more serious and dull black and white books. The programs are fun, with silly comments like "Nooooooo! The aliens have outnumbered us. All is lost." and "The dragon wakes up and eats you. You are delicious." It is quick and easy to get started with the coding and it builds up skills gradually. I feel sure it will give my child a good basic knowledge of Python before he starts this element of his GCSE.
Review: This is an excellent book for beginners as it covers what to expect ... - This is an excellent book for beginners as it covers what to expect in Windows, Mac and how to download the Python software. The book covers the topic of Variables as it states the purpose of a variable and data types. A section on the topic of ‘PROGRAM CONSTRUCTS’ should have been added before introducing the topic ‘MAKING DECISIONS’. This would have been useful to people new to programming and those with a little knowledge of programming but moving on to Python. I hope a section on the topic of program constructs is included to a revised edition to make the book very valuable to children and adults entering university or those in colleges learning programming for the first time. Another useful coverage is how to save your file and that ‘a variable is like a labelled box that stores information’, this is an area that is very confusing to a beginner programmer as they cannot visualise what a variable is so you have to bring it down to that level. Excellent illustration, this makes the book very useful to beginners. The lesson learnt from using this book is transferable to other programming language.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun illustrations and interesting book
*by P***L on 18 September 2018*

Useful little book with clear instructions and pictures to make it fun for kids to learn python. The only problem we faced was that some commands didn't work and we had to Google the latest versions. Perhaps old versions of the book should be discontinued from the market.
