If you teach your child one thing, teach her the golden rule. If you teach her two things, then
teach her the golden rule and computer programming. This book is all you need for the latter.

I enjoyed the interaction with Carter in the book … My students are really going to enjoy the
Digital Pet program! Reminds me of the Tamagotchi Virtual Pet that I had years ago.

Computer programming is a powerful tool for children ‘to learn learning.’ … Children who
engage in programming transfer that kind of learning to other things.

Warren and Carter start simply, at the beginning, and take kids or adults all the
way to making fun 2D graphical games and simulations. Python is my first choice
for a real programming language for new programmers, and using this book is a
great way to learn it. I’ve been recommending this book to my students since the
First Edition came out.
