Am I simpler than a computer? I might just be!

'Coding For Beginners Using Python' by Louie Stowell is an instructions guide to learn the basics. It's a combination of simple exercises for loops/dictionaries/drawing and more complex games that mimic Minesweeper or Pong. The target audience is kids and so is set out in an easy to understand manner with plenty of colour and fun graphics.

I summarised the book as follows. "It's a nice, practical and easy to use first step. I liked the emphasis on quickly writing code even if it doesn't particularly make sense right away. I purposefully chose the most basic language and the most basic book to begin my coding journey with, and I think this was a great choice."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
