Mouse Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Any recommendations for computer programming or web design books. We have done Game Maker and the kids really enjoyed it. Looking to getting another book and keep moving in the world of computers. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mims Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Teach Yourself Visually HTML. My programmer cousin strongly recommended starting with HTML and adding Java Script (this book has some Java at the end). It lays out the idea of programming and thinking logically. This book worked for my 12 year old son. He progressed most of the way through without much help from me. I did have to help the first couple weeks until he got the hang of it.

AngieW in Texas Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 http://www.inventwithpython.com My 14yo is using this free program to learn python. She's about 3/4 of the way through it. I've been trying to figure out if it's worth a semester credit or not. What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
