I was thrilled how much my son got into programming as a result of
this book. He spent hours with it and was often surprised when his
"screen time" was over because the time just flew by. Although the
book doesn't delve into the fundamentals of software programming
(how computers store and retrieve data), kids get to see the
results of their programming right away--the pictures and
animations that they created--and are hooked into wanting to learn
more. -- Mark Musante, professional software designer
I would recommend this book to anyone my age that is interested in
coding or technology. It was very helpful and insightful about the
basic (and the more complex) parts of standard coding. This book
would be great for anyone looking to jump head-first into coding.

This is the best book a beginning programmer could get. It teaches
programming concepts in fun and entertaining ways. This book is a
great start in learning to program! -- Alec M., age 13
It has been great fun reading this book. It takes me back to when I
fell in love with programming. After having spent the past twenty
years programming solutions on the server side, I find this 3D book
a welcome diversion that offers new concepts and ideas with instant
visual feedback! I hope the book finds its way into the hands of an
inquisitive child who gets hooked on computer programming like I
did. -- Darren Hunt, Director Algorithmic Solutions Limited
