encyclopedias and dictionaries

Coding is an excellent skill to develop and work on, even as a kid. But it can seem like the world of coding has a whole other language--and they do somewhat. This handy reference allows new coders and tech users with the vocabulary to better understand how code is created, fixed, and run on computers and other digital devices. From bits to Python, the terms in the book are given age-appropriate definitions as well as pronunciations of tougher words. Fact boxes and word games give readers a way to augment and test what they have learned.
