Fagbøger for børn og unge: programmering og programmeringssprog

Er du interesseret i computerspil og animation? Vil du gerne lære at kode dine egne computerprogrammer? Denne bog er hvad enhver spirende computerprogrammør har brug for. Farverig grafik kombineret med trin for trin-instruktioner gør kunsten at kode enkel, overskuelig og sjov - selv for nybegyndere. Bogen gennemgår, hvordan du bygger spil og animationer med to forskelige computersprog: Scratch og Python. Stoffet er nemt at gå til, og den overskuelige formidling gør selv de sværere dele af kodning sjove og nemmere at forstå. I samme serie som bøgerne "Hjælp dit barn med matematik" og "Hjælp dit barn med biologi, kemi og fysik".

Lær at lave computerspil på din iPad, din PC eller Mac, din Chromebook eller din Android.Med denne bog kan børn i alderen 7 til 14 år lære at programmere og lave computerspil. Mindre børn kan lære det sammen med deres forældre.Lær at lave computerspil i programmeringsværktøjet Scratch. Det er gratis at benytte, på dansk og helt fri for reklamer. Det er et visuelt programmeringsværktøj, så børnene kan programmere uden at huske på kryptiske udtryk, og perfekt placering af semikolonner, og andre specialtegn.Bogen fører læseren igennem udviklingen af tre computerspil i stigende sværhedsgrad. Den gennemgående figur er CodeDog, og figuren og øvrig grafik og lyd leveres med bogen, så det kan bruges uden videre.Vi mener ikke, at programmering er en færdighed kun for drenge eller for piger, og de spil, bogen gennemgår, er af typer som både piger og drenge nemt kan gå i gang med.Bogen har et meget visuelt layout, så der er ikke store mængder tekst på de 150 sider. Af og til bruger vi et par sider på at forklare noget for de teknisk-interesserede børn og voksne – men det er ikke nødvendigt at læse det for at komme videre.

There are new puzzles to inspire you and two new appendices to guide you through Python’s built-in modules and troubleshooting your code.As you strike out on your programming adventure, you’ll learn how to:Use fundamental data structures like lists, tuples, and dictionaries  Organize and reuse your code with functions and modulesUse control structures like loops and conditional statements Draw shapes and patterns with Python’s turtle moduleCreate games, animations, and other graphical wonders with tkinterWhy should serious adults have all the fun? Python for Kids is your ticket into the amazing world of computer programming.Covers Python 3.x which runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, even Raspberry Pi

This book takes you through building twelve projects that are all left open to being improved. This allows the user the opportunity to add more features and build their own unique interfaces while having the both the code core done and a basic UI required. Throughout this book the user will learn how useful features such as making their own basic encryption program as well as learning about Object Oriented Programming. The user will take these in addition to learning how to work with an API and have all the skills to start coding their own projects. If the user has not gone back to add on to the book's projects, there will be suggestions as to how they can improve upon what they have already made to make them more suitable to a portfolio. From here you can take your coding future in the direction of building more games, or focusing on building tools and software. Both of these branches have recommended projects and direction to continue your education.
