‘Python for kids. Second edition’ is indeed a playful introduction to programming. It is aimed at children and their parents but also at anyone who wants to learn how to program. Using many games and humor, the author, Jason R. Briggs explains the basic principles of programming, applicable to any computer language. By the end of this book, you would have created two exciting computer games. 

While you are having fun with interesting examples and unique jokes, without even realising, you would learn how to use fundamental structures of data like lists, tuples and dictionaries, how to organize and recycle code with functions and modules, how to operate controlling structures like cycles and conditional operators, how to draw different shapes and forms with the turtle module of Python, to create games, animation and other graphical wonders with the tkinter library.

Computer programming is at the very core of the modern technological world and Python, in particular, is at the heart of today’s AI revolution. This book will help you start to understand the logic of machine thinking and easily manage the processes of programming. ‘Python for kids’ will show you the infinite world of possibilities to work with the most commonly used computer language.
