About this product

Product Information

Coding for Beginners in Easy Steps instructs readers how to write code to create their own computer programs. It contains separate chapters demonstrating how to store information in data structures, how to control program flow using control structures, and how to create re-usable blocks of code in program functions. There are complete step-by-step example programs that demonstrate each aspect of coding, together with screenshots that illustrate the actual output when each program has been executed. It begins by explaining how to easily create a programming environment on the readers' own computer, so they can quickly begin to create their own working programs by copying the book's examples. After demonstrating the essential building blocks of computer programming it describes how to code powerful algorithms and demonstrates how to code classes for Object Oriented Programming (OOP). The examples throughout this book feature the popular Python programming language but additionally the final chapter demonstrates a comparison example in the C, C++, and Java programming languages to give the reader a rounded view of computer coding. The code in the listed steps within the book is colour-coded to precisely match the default colour-coding of the Python IDLE editor, making it easier for beginners to grasp.

  • Programming is not easy. But this book makes it easy to understand for someone with no experience even like me.

  • Confused as ever about coding

    This book is a nightmare. very hard to understand and probably written by someone who has no concept of teaching people. some of the instructions book are a mystery, for example there is an edit section but it does not seem to contain the same information as the software is displaying. I suppose the answer is it is written in code that the writer has forgotten to tell us about

  • This book has the code for a program you can write in easy learning steps.

    Coding for Beginners by Mike McGarth, This book from the In Easy Steps series is a real good book for someone interested in having a go at writing their very own programs with GUI (graphic user interface e.g. windows and messages options) or just very simple console programs. The code chosen for this book is the very easy to learn and popular free to download language called Python 3.5 .
