coding theory

Explains the process programmers use to create a video game, including concepts such as game mechanics and user interfaces.

Even when they try to relax, the Power Coders get swept up in a coding challenge! While on the way to a local park, Tommy explains to the Power Coders that his brother, Evan, is making a robot for a "battle bot" competition. Evan may know how to build a robot, but can he create the code needed to make it work? He will after the Power Coders lend him a hand. Readers will enjoy the Power Coders' latest coding challenge, which includes a glimpse into robotics and an introduction to Arduino microprocessors, as well as a thrilling "battle bot" finish.

An introduction to computer coding, covering how to use code to create games, record a podcast, or send a digital card; build your own computer; make your own smartphone and light-up bracelet; create a motion sensor, and more.

Even by 1800s standards, Ada Byron Lovelace had an unusual upbringing. Her strict mother worked hard at cultivating her own role as the long-suffering ex-wife of bad-boy poet Lord Byron while raising Ada in isolation. Tutored by the brightest minds, Ada developed a hunger for mental puzzles, mathematical conundrums, and scientific discovery that kept pace with the breathtaking advances of the industrial and social revolutions taking place in Europe. At seventeen, Ada met eccentric inventor Charles Babbage, a kindred spirit. Their ensuing collaborations resulted in ideas and concepts that presaged computer programming by almost two hundred years, and Ada Lovelace is now recognized as a pioneer and prophet of the information age.
