Jay3fer Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Heard an interview with the author of this book today (Lauren Ipsum by Carlos Bueno) and thought it might be a good intro to logic / computer programming concepts for dd8. (listen to the interview on CBC radio here- click on Download the MP3 for the whole show or this link for just the clip) Does anybody have any experience with this? I thought it might be somewhat analagous to the Life of Fred books for math, at least from his description of the storyline. Am I way off-base? Is this really helpful for a kid who's never programmed before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMum Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 My 9 and 11 year olds read it, and love it. It's a funny story with no prior programming knowledge required. Great interview, thanks! I hadn't heard him speak before, I love what he has to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks! I'm pleased as punch because he's agreed to a blog giveaway AND a review copy, so we get to read it, too... :-))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
