Small Basic is a free, beginner-friendly programming language created by Microsoft. Inspired by BASIC, which introduced programming to millions of first-time PC owners in the 1970s and 1980s, Small Basic is a modern language that makes coding simple and fun. Learn to Program with Small Basic introduces you to the empowering world of programming. You'll master the basics with simple activities like displaying messages and drawing colourful pictures, and then work your way up to programming games! Learn how to: Program your computer to greet you by name; Make a game of rock-paper-scissors using If/Else statements; Create an interactive treasure map using arrays; Draw intricate geometric patterns with just a few lines of code; Simplify complex programs by breaking them into bite-sized subroutines You'll also learn to command a turtle to draw shapes, create magical moving text, solve math problems quickly, help a knight slay a dragon, and more! Each chapter ends with creative coding challenges so you can take your skills to the next level. Learn to Program with Small Basic is the perfect place to start your computer science journey.

Recensioner i media

“A middle school student with no programming experience could pick up this title and quickly begin writing text-based programming. This book is particularly relevant to libraries trying to beef up their STEAM offerings.”—School Library Connection“The book is an excellent resource for any parent or teacher looking to provide a gentle introduction to coding. The ambitious middle schooler might also find it a suitable read to tackle on their own.”—Zen and the Art of Programming“This book is for anyone who is interested in learning more about the basics of computer programming in a fun and engaging way. I highly recommend Learn to Program with Small Basic and Microsoft’s excellent Small Basic programming language.”—Martin Fish, Coding and Robotics teacher“Learn to Program with Small Basic provides a fun and informative way of delivering the concepts. The use of color coding and visuals enables students to easily follow and gives them the confidence to try coding themselves.”—Susan Nicholson, Computer Science and Robotics teacher
