An introduction to coding for complete beginners, this friendly and accessible book will teach children the basics of Scratch (a free, online program developed by MIT which is widely used in elementary schools), allowing them to get inside the code of their computer and create simple games and animations on screen.
A new version (Version 3) of Scratch has been released. The current edition of this book will work for the majority of the features which are covered. There is also a link to a .pdf supplement from Usborne with an overview of what has changed in version 3 on the left-hand side of this page. Click on the Errata link to download it.
