There are plenty of python equivalents of his book. I bought "Computer Coding Python Games for Kids" for my son and its very good. It doesn't just list the program to type in, it breaks it up into logical sections like "now we need to write the code to animate the dragons" and then briefly explains how it works before giving a short code listing to type in.
Python's indentation rules are a source of confusion, but I'd much rather he learned that instead of BASIC.
- klodolph 8y agoTo be fair, C-style blocks are at least as much a source of confusion as Python's indentation. if (banana) x = orange(); strawberry(x, 3); kumquat(x);
- retzkek 8y agoI'd think Racket (and DrRacket) would be a good language & environment for a kid to explore programming in: simple, consistent syntax, easy access to graphics. I'm not sure if there's any books or tutorials targeting kids & parents though.
