Programming geeks! Do you have trouble describing to your children what it is you do at work all day? Why not show them, while also strengthening their ABCs and getting them interested in programming?
This is a really cute book! Each page contains “Hello World” code, adorable illustrations, and trivia about the featured programming language. While it’s geared toward younger kids, even older kids can enjoy compiling each code sample and researching other languages that start with each letter. Heck, I’m a programming adult and I still learned a lot from it.
You’ll have a hard time deciding whether to leave the book at home with the kids, or display it in your office cubicle for fellow geeks to pore over. :)

Super cute book.
Alphabet book of programming languages. Each page shows a "Hello world" type code snippet in the language.
The illustration on each page is of a different programming-related word that begins with that letter.
