Python For Kids For Dummies (Paperback)

商品描述

Key Features

Learn to start using Python for some simple programming tasks such as doing easy mathematical calculations.
Use logic and control loops to build a nice interesting game.
Get to grips with working with data and, once you're comfortable with that, you'll be introduced to Pygame, which will help you wrap up the book with a cool game.

Book Description

Kids are always the most fast-paced and enthusiastic learners, and are naturally willing to build stuff that looks like magic at the end (when it works!). Programming can be one such magic. Being able to write a program that works helps them feel they've really achieved something. Kids today are very tech-savvy and cannot wait to enter the fast-paced digital world.

Because Python is one of the most popular languages and has a syntax that is quite simple to understand, even kids are eager to use it as a stepping stone to learning programming languages.

This book will cover projects that are simple and fun, and teach kids how to write Python code that works.

The book will teach the basics of Python programming, installation, and so on and then will move on to projects. A total of three projects, with each and every step explained carefully, without any assumption of previous experience.

What you will learn

Start fiddling with Python's variables, build functions and interact with users
Build your own calculator using the Math Library
Train Python to make logical decisions
Work with moving 2D objects on-screen
Understand the Pygame Library and build your very own game!
Write a cool program to manage inventories in your backpack
