Interested in coding? I am! We've all seen the movie character: the computer wizard who encounters a seemingly insurmountable obstacle only to break through it with a seconds-long burst of focused typing. Seriously, how do they do that?!
I went to Ebooks Minnesota to see if I could find out, and it turned out to be the perfect starting point for my coding journey. "Coding" by Rane Anderson explains the basics of coding, its role in computer programming, and its application in developing programs, software, and applications like social media and streaming services. The book uses simple analogies, like baking cookies, to help readers grasp why computer programming is essential for devices to function effectively.
The book covers coding languages, variables, algorithms, and conditional statements, providing engaging questions and problems to test your understanding. Additionally, it introduces practical resources like Scratch, an easy-to-use visual programming language developed to help its users see how coding works. "Coding" is an excellent resource for anyone curious about the world of coding and its impact on our daily lives.
If you're specifically interested in web design, "Web Design with HTML 5" by Colleen Van Lent is a must-read. It explains how web pages are built using HTML 5, offering step-by-step instructions, formatting tips, and code examples to make your pages unique.
Ebooks Minnesota doesn't stop at coding; it provides resources on various forms of technology, including virtual reality. Join me as I dive into the world of coding this summer. Before we know it, we'll be the ones building websites and saving the day!
