Review: Python Coding for Beginners - I know this book is intended for children but as an adult in my 30s who has only recently decided to try and learn coding this book has been a great starting point so far. I'll likely need to get books aimed at people closer to my age range after this if I want to learn anything more advanced but I can't deny that the book pretty useful and informative regardless of your age. :) Review: This is an excellent book for beginners as it covers what to expect ... - This is an excellent book for beginners as it covers what to expect in Windows, Mac and how to download the Python software. The book covers the topic of Variables as it states the purpose of a variable and data types. A section on the topic of ‘PROGRAM CONSTRUCTS’ should have been added before introducing the topic ‘MAKING DECISIONS’. This would have been useful to people new to programming and those with a little knowledge of programming but moving on to Python. I hope a section on the topic of program constructs is included to a revised edition to make the book very valuable to children and adults entering university or those in colleges learning programming for the first time. Another useful coverage is how to save your file and that ‘a variable is like a labelled box that stores information’, this is an area that is very confusing to a beginner programmer as they cannot visualise what a variable is so you have to bring it down to that level. Excellent illustration, this makes the book very useful to beginners. The lesson learnt from using this book is transferable to other programming language. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 20,457 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 11 in Introduction to Programming 157 in Children's Books on Computers & Technology 858 in Primary School Textbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 596 Reviews | ## Images ![Coding for Beginners: Using Python (Coding for Beginners): 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91XSUk7ZxrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Python Coding for Beginners *by A***S on 16 May 2026* I know this book is intended for children but as an adult in my 30s who has only recently decided to try and learn coding this book has been a great starting point so far.

I would just like to leave to notes: [1] In the 'snowflake drawing' exercise, don't save your program as 'turtle' as Python will then try importing your own program in place of the 'turtle' module. [2] In this same exercise, the snowflake will not draw properly if you follow the instructions (!). The code that tells your turtle to go backward(120) should be in the next piece of code so you should write: def snowflakeArm(): for x in range(0,4): forward(30) vshape() def snowflake(): for x in range(0,6): snowflakeArm() backward(120) right(60) snowflake() Doing this worked for me. This makes more sense, as the turtle has to draw the full snowflakeArm before going back to its start point. The way the book has it, the turtle draws a sort of hexagon instead. Working this out helped me better understand the program. Hope this helps. Also: In the Bat/Ball game, the box asking if you want to play again won't pop up. To fix this I used two lines of code I found in another book {Coding for Beginners, by Mike McGrath} The lines of code go between the first and second lines at the start of your program, so you get this: import tkinter from tkinter import* import tkinter.messagebox as box import time Doing this made the replay button pop up. ## Frequently Bought Together - Coding for Beginners: Using Python [Hardcover] [Jan 01, 2017] Louie Stowell - Coding for Beginners Using Scratch - IR - Coding for Kids: Python: Learn to Code with 50 Awesome Games and Activities --- ## 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.be/products/48479248-coding-for-beginners-using-python-coding-for-beginners-1](https://www.desertcart.be/products/48479248-coding-for-beginners-using-python-coding-for-beginners-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
