Story-Writing-Coding (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781838002817)

The author, Dr Colin Price is Principal Lecturer at Worcester University, UK, where he currently teaches Computing. He has worked in education for his entire life starting off teaching Nuffield A-Level Physics. His recent research interests include Primary Computing, and he has recently taught all primary year groups in local schools. This book introduces programming ('coding') to children of Primary/Elementary School age and beyond. They will learn how to code animated stories using the professional language Java. The approach is novel since children will work with Java text, rather than dragging and dropping blocks. All you need is a Windows PC. The engine is self-contained and you do not need to install any software onto your PC.
