Learn to Program with Scratch: A Visual Introduction to Programming with Games, Art, Science, and Math

I chose this rating because the text is easy to read and easy to understand. It cross-references the scratch tutorials online and offers formatted practices for new students of programming.I bought the book after working at a booth at a statewide library association conference where "Learn to Program with Scratch" was on display.. The response to the book and publisher by dozens of librarians was impressive. One youth librarian bought the only sample copy available to support the Scratch Camp he offers every summer at the public library where he is on staff. I gave the book to my grandson (age 11) as a gift and watched him work through the first few sections. "Learn to Program With Scratch" is an excellent companion to any student of Scratch. I highly recommend this purchase for classrooms, tech classes, libraries or as a gift for the young student of programming.

This is a great book. I teach my students how to code using Scatch and this is such a great resource. The examples are perfect, visually appealing and fun. My students love the games they create and are always looking forward to the next. It simplifies the process so that it's easier to explain. This was a good investment. Saves me from having to come up with the world of lessons.

This is the best book I have ever purchased (I have 2 others plus an e-book) on Scratch and it is up-to-date with the latest version of the program (2.0). The examples are clear, concise, well-thought-out and a joy to work with. The first chapter alone gives you a very good overview of the whole program and the author has included lots of examples and try-it-out exercises. Well worth the money.

I found the book to be very useful in teaching Scratch to my undergraduate business students who have little to no exposure to computer programming. Any chance you could make the book larger? It is quite hard to read the small prints.

This was a gift for grandchild.

Only resource I have found that assumes you are a novice at programming in Scratch and explains everything in easy to understand language. Bought this so I can teach my 10 year old grandson to program a robot I bought him for Xmas. Great Book!!

This book has some good information and is helpful when learning Scratch. However, like most things technology, this book is also starting to get out of date. I had to purchase it for a computer science endorsement class that I was taking. There were some good things in it, but I would see if you can borrow a copy from someone before purchasing it.

I have been a member on scratch for two years, as I just recived this book. It helped and inspired me with a lot of projects, even though I have been on for a while. I reccomend this book to anyone who wants to start programming. The colorful pictures and simple text helped me alot too.
