Veteran programmer Jason R. Briggs' inaugural venture into book publishing, Python for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming, aims to inspire the same love of computing that he experienced decades ago hacking his Radio Shack TRS-80. Python for Kids, published by No Starch Press, is a lighthearted introduction to the Python programming language, full of fun examples and original color illustrations. Briggs begins the book with the basics of how to install Python and write simple commands. In bite-sized chapters, he explains essential programming concepts. By the end of the book, readers have built simple games and created cool drawings with Python's graphics library, Turtle. Each chapter closes with offbeat exercises that challenge readers to put their newly acquired knowledge to the test.
