Not sure if anyone else is keeping an eye out for resources for kids, but I thought I’d mention one I think is quite good:
https://www.amazon.com/Make-Interactive-Graphics-JavaScript-Processing/dp/1457186772
Since p5.js is just a JavaScript library, anyone learning from this book will be learning a very practical syntax. But what makes this book/library interesting is that the focus is much more on creating graphics, animations, games, etc. To me it seems like most intro programming books start off with math operations, variables, control-flow, etc. These can be a bit dry and tough to sell for kids who probably don’t see the usefulness of those right away. This book has all those, of course, but not until some fun things are drawn to screen. Actually it’s a fun book/library for those of us in the gray haired crowd as well.
Does anyone know of other resources that would be good for kids? I’d love to hear about them if you do.
