Coding for Kids: Learn to Code Javascript - Video Game Design Coding Software - Computer Programming for Kids, Ages 11-18, (PC, Mac, Chromebook Compatible)

I purchased this for my 10 year old nephew. After assisting him with the initial set-up, he has manage to navigate the program on his own. It is very engaging and easy to follow along for a beginner as he has no other experience with coding. It does require internet for use, so this is definitely better as a home project or for use in areas with wifi access. He has easily navigated the program lessons, but there is also live chat assistance when needed. All-in-all a good buy with hours of educational entertainment available.

I think overall my kid is going to learn and add to his knowledge I bought this for my 11 year old son who is homeschooled and this was an addition to regular curriculum. Im so glad I purchased it! You should know that there is no software in the box, you simply receive a web address and a code to download the software along with a 8gb thumb drive. The thumb drive itself is blank - think of it more as a freebie - you dont even need it for learning. We have a Macbook and our son was able to follow the online directions and get everything required himself. Hes a bright boy, but not necessarily a computer nerd, so a child who can listen and follow directions will be successful with this. He has had a little bit of programming instruction through the free online Khan Academy, so the first few lessons were a wonderful review for him. He ran into a few little problems with his code, so he sent a chat message through the help feature and received timely answers that helped him sort out his mistakes on his own. After a bit of trial and error, he was able to complete the tasks with help from the chat feature when required. The instructions are available are in text and also in video tutorials and each of the lesson is followed by a practical exercise. My husband and I didnt have to do a thing to help. What a relief to find a product like this that doesnt require hours of tech support and troubleshooting just to make it work for your kid!

Basically, I love this - the web site is super responsive and clearly well-coded. The tasks easy to implement and a great learning tool. I recommend heartily. I am learning, and Ive got a much better sense of coding than the intended audience. Creative gaming an excellent way for children/newbies to learn - indeed!

Excellent

As an adult, I find this to be a great experience to build upon the basic codes I knew in high school. I have worked part of the waythroughthe program and am excited to see how much I can learn as I continue. The best part is how in detail they explain things! I would definitely recommend this product!

Whether you have a child whos interested in learning java coding or wants to write their own games, or youre a website designer whod like to be able to increase your own skill set, Simply Coding is a great place to start. I know what Java does from a user standpoint but Ive never coded or written my own program. But with this Game Design Software package, I had written my very own Pong game on the first night!

I bought this for my 12 year old God son who is big into computers and wants to be a game designer when he grows up! He was so excited when he opened and started it right away!! We both give it 5 stars!!

My two older children started using this only Andre weeks ago and they are already learning so much! We have tried teaching them a little about coding through free websites and other resources but this was by far the best! My kids love it and can learn at their own pace. I really recommend purchasing!

I have an 11 year old son that has really gotten into learning about java script, so I was excited for him to try this program out. He hasnt used it much as Id hoped he would, I think he got a little bogged down in some of the written instructions. But when he did get to the practice sections he seemed to enjoy it. I think as he gets into it more hell be able to learn a lot from this program. It seems to have a lot of depth as well as practical ways to apply what they learn. My son was also excited about the flash drive that was included.

This product is great for kids as well as for adults! If you dont know anything about programming, this is a great start. If you know other programming language, this is still a great buy! My 9 year old watched my husband play around with the gaming software, and then he created games of his own with confidence. Younger kids who are comfortable with computers (so all kids these days, right?) will be fine with these instructions with a little guidance at first. Great product!
