Book Description
Learn to Code by Solving Problems is a practical introduction to programming using Python. It uses coding-competition challenges to teach you the mechanics of coding and how to think like a savvy programmer. Computers are capable of solving almost any problem when given the right instructions. That’s where programming comes in. This beginner’s book will have you writing Python programs right away. You’ll solve interesting problems drawn from real coding competitions and build your programming skills as you go. Every chapter presents problems from coding challenge websites, where online judges test your solutions and provide targeted feedback. As you practice using core Python features, functions, and techniques, you’ll develop a clear understanding of data structures, algorithms, and other programming basics. Bonus exercises invite you to explore new concepts on your own, and multiple-choice questions encourage you to think about how each piece of code works. You’ll learn how to: Run Python code, work with strings, and use variables Write programs that make decisions Make code more efficient with while and for loops Use Python sets, lists, and dictionaries to organize, sort, and search data Design programs using functions and top-down design Create complete-search algorithms and use Big O notation to design more efficient code By the end of the book, you’ll not only be proficient in Python, but you’ll also understand how to think through problems and tackle them with code. Programming languages come and go, but this book gives you the lasting foundation you need to start thinking like a programmer.

Book Description
If you are a teacher, dad, mum, uncle, aunt, granddad, or grand mum and have ever wondered what coding book to get for your kids to start them on their programming career, then this book is for you. With many of the jobs we are used to, being replaced with automatic systems, robots, and artificial intelligence, it has become imperative that to be defined as a good parent, you should equip your kids with the right kind of skills that will enable them to not just compete but to stay ahead of the ever-increasing competitive job market. Your kids will learn why it is a good idea to learn how to code and the many things they can create on their own. Many jobs are already requiring that the applicants know how to code, mostly because it is implied that a person that knows how to code will more than likely have analytical skills which is a highly sought-after skill in the job market. Rather than have your kids wait for the school curriculum to teach them, many parents are getting to learn that kids who start by learning with Scratch, which is a programming language designed with kids in mind, grow up understanding basic coding concepts because they have learned to create fun stuff at a very early age. This book was designed with kids in mind, so a deliberate attempt was made to make it interactive, step by step, and easy to follow by kids in elementary grade. Parents also even if they have no previous programming experience can easily follow along with the book and feel young again. It contains graphical illustrations to explain different concepts that kids will find very interactive. With this book, your kids will learn how to: - write scripts that can instruct images to dance on the screen - basics of coding and programming by dragging blocks of codes rather than writing on a black screen - the fun aspect of coding that will prepare them for the future Learn to Code 4 Kids with Scratch that will give your kids a chance to become financially independent in the future by acquiring skills that will definitely be needed in their lifetime. Kids find it a lot easier to learn new languages, yet many parents do not understand that coding offers humans a form of language that they can use to communicate with the computer back-end. It is the ultimate beginner's guide to getting started with programming so that in the future, they can earn in one hour what you presently earn in one year.
