A Day in Code: An illustrated story written in the C programming language
Learn C programming basics quickly- while enjoying a beautifully illustrated picture book!
For kids and beginners of all ages, learning to code in the C programming language has never been this fun…or fast!
This story of an epic day describes real-life situations with C computer programs presented next to beautiful full-page illustrations. You’ll see how activities like making a pancake breakfast and playing a game of bowling are described with simple C programs.
You will learn important programming concepts and C programming fundamentals from the story’s C programs and code explanations. Variables, functions, for loops, while loops, if/else statements…it’s all covered in this entertaining tale. You can run each program in the book on your computer, play with the code, and gain the knowledge to write your own programs!
The C programming language runs the world
The C programming language is a widely used language used at companies large and small. It’s used in many fields including databases, desktop applications, operating systems, computer games/graphics, and embedded systems. C programming runs on devices and appliances all around you, like your phone, washing machine, printer, and car- just to name a few! C is known as the "mother of all programming languages" because so many languages borrow from it. Learning C will provide you with a solid foundation in computer programming.
Get started learning to code in C with a picture book- not a textbook!
Experience a colorful introduction to the C programming language and gain valuable coding skills. You can also use this book as a reference to look back on for fun and useful code examples.

Great concept but got board.
This is totally a book for computer geeks. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I do think it's an interesting way to introduce programming to young people, but if the story couldn't hold my attention... Yeah... I think the concept is a good one but the story was too dry.
The actual programming aspect of the story was good and easy to understand and I think that the idea of the story made the programming more relatable. So I think it could be a good learning tool. I barely got through half the story before I had to stop. To be honest, I will only pick up this book again if my child shows an interest in programming, then perhaps I can update this review at that time.
It breaks my heart to not give a better review because I think we need more books about STEM in the world.
