Poorly Written, Not Child-Friendly
Children learning the basics of coding with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a great idea. Unfortunately, this book is unlikely to help a child do so. Like so many books supposedly from kids, it not only has an introduction written solely for the parent or caregiver but also has no kid-friendly language and explanations in the bulk of the book. The book has decent organization, as a quick look at the table of contents will reveal, but the writing style fails on several levels. First, the book appears to be written by a non-native English speaker, which is fine, but it does not appear to have been copyedited, proofread, or even vetted by a native English speaker. Here’s an example sentence that makes me think this is so: “You must be trying to understand it all at once [coding] and then getting confused by all abstract ideas and terms.” Second, some sentences just are nonsensical and certainly would not make sense to a child who wants to learn how to code. Here's an example, a definition of object-oriented programming: “A prototype that describes the characteristics of everything that is part of it. A class's members are all objects.” I have actually taken object-oriented programming classes in college, and I find that definition hard to parse! If you have a child interested in learning how to code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I recommend finding a better book than this one.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
