"I met the author, Matt Highland, when he came to the Lafayette, CA
library to teach a Scratch class to kids...The quality and
technical accuracy of this book are excellent. It has lots of
screen shots and cute illustrations. Part 1 teaches Scratch,
step-by-step. Part 2 walks you through ten fun games, telling you
what you'll learn at the beginning of each game, and then helping
you implement it."--David C. Briccetti
"Intuitive and visually appealing, Scratch is the perfect platform
for beginners, making Coding for Kids: Scratch a great book to get
kids started in computer programming. Written to be accessible to
kids and teachers alike, Highland's lessons seamlessly integrate
the introduction of the key language and structures of coding, all
while delivering the excitement and satisfaction of building
working games."--Jennifer Gilson, Math/Computer Science High School
