I borrowed this book from my eBook library to have a quick glance through to see if it would be appropriate for my son who is keen on computers. I've looked through the book on my eReader and was so impressed that I've ordered him a hardcopy of it so he can give it a try. The book comes with a code to download a program to teach them to code. Will update further when I receive the book and he's had a chance to follow the steps but so far I'm impressed with what I've read.
Update 10 October 2016: well my 12 year old son with a learning disorder used this book over the school holidays and had a blast. Constant comments like "this is sick" when he got the projects to work. Easy for him to understand whilst learning something functional.

The first chapter was great, the rest just could have been better for me. I feel like though it presents coding in a specific website/software, it could have presented skills that can be generalized with other software. Seems like it would be good for kids though!

This book is easy to understand, and it does talk about coding. My problem with it is that it is a book to support the computer program: Microworlds Ex. It is more of a how-to manual for the software than a book about coding in general. You have to read the back of the book to find this out. It should be on the front as well. Purchasing the book allows you a short trial period of the program for free or a discounted purchase price of Microworlds EX. The program gets good reviews and it might be worth checking out, but as far as a book about coding, go for another book.
