Coding for Kids for Dummies Review: Building Confidence, One Line of Code at a Time! - I purchased this wonderful book for my 11 year old son. He has had a tiny bit of exposure to Java coding for Minecraft during summer camp. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but after skimming the book, and placing some post-it notes on the projects he wanted to try, he decided to be 'brave' and dive in. 45 minutes later, he was delighted at how easy the instructions were to follow, and he was successful in every attempt he made with the programs. I was thrilled to see the big smile on his face! He really liked how the programs 'correct' you when entering lines of code, if you have done it incorrectly. He said that saves a lot of time and helped him ultimately be more successful with the projects. What a nice way to get introduced to coding, something that I have no interest in. I feel guilty to write that, but I'm more at home with painting, hiking, or reading a great book. This is a world that my children love, and I'm happy I found a book that helps them. Review: Unexpected content, but well worth a look - I stumbled on this book on desertcart, and like a lot of other people assumed it would be about Scratch, Python or some other kid friendly language. It was a little surprising that Ms.McCue decided to concentrate on MicroWorlds EX since it is a little off the beaten track, but I actually think it was a good choice. My first exposure to the Logo language was in the 1990's (it was first released way back in 1967!) and it was fun to revisit it in its expanded form as part of MicroWorlds. Some people object to having to pay for it ($29.00 once you have the book), but I think it is well worth the price. Ms. McCue is quite knowledgeable and the book is clear and very well written. If you're looking for a beginning programming book for kids (or even 70 year old adults like me), Coding for Kids (using MicroWorlds) takes a different approach to programming that you might find intriguing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,934,911 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #315 in Children's Programming Books #2,862 in Internet & Telecommunications | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (160) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.75 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1118940326 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1118940327 | | Item Weight | 1.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 370 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2014 | | Publisher | For Dummies | ## Images ![Coding for Kids for Dummies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SiGvTtlbL.jpg) ![Coding for Kids for Dummies - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ewpPclL7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Building Confidence, One Line of Code at a Time! *by A***A on January 25, 2015* I purchased this wonderful book for my 11 year old son.

To get started there is a 35 day/90 save Trial. After that, you have to buy a license for MicroWorld EX, which is the programming software that the lessons are based in. It looks like if you buy it right away, you can get the software download for $30, but if you wait too long, it will be as much as $99. We are waiting for our trial activation link to be sent so I can't speak to how it will all work out, but the book/lessons look great at first glance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/8990470-coding-for-kids-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/8990470-coding-for-kids-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
