This is an excellent series! I would recommend this series in particular to people (adults through children) who just want to know a bit about coding. This is a superb introduction to the subject in 24 pages. I appreciate that there is a glossary. The book has both exercises within the pages and further information and exercises are available online.

There is one mistake in the book where it asks readers to find 5 computers on the page. There are only four. The fifth computer is on the opposing page, but that is not what the book asked. In a book that emphasizes precision in writing instructions, that's a rather funny mistake.

Good intro.

Kids Get Coding, Coding, Bugs and Fixes was written for children but is a book for everyone. It is the first book everyone should read before buying their first computer. In easy to understand language and examples, we learn about what an Algorithm is and how it works. We learn what a sequence is in relation to an algorithm.

Kids Get Coding, Coding, Bugs and Fixes is a book to re-read over and over again. The illustrations were a great help in showing how algorithms work.
