learn to write clear, understandable programs
by Chris Pine After working through a Python book together with me in 6th grade and regularly building robots with LEGO Mindstorms for years, our 8th grade son indendently worked through this book on Ruby programming. ‘Programmer Dad’ helped him understand the last chapter. With that exception, someone can work through the book fairly independently. Our sixth grade daughter is working through the book more slowly. Rather than rush on after she learns a concept, she is amused by modifying programs and seeing the effects of small changes. “Learn to Program” is the simplest introduction to programming we’ve seen.
