Are you looking to teach children how to code? Or are you looking to start coding?

This book on beginner C++ is the answer.

For the last couple of years, the news keeps talking about the digital economy and how everyone needs programmers. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. However, it is not that easy. Coding is a skill; and like any skill it takes time to learn. Like any skill, the younger you start; the better you get.

From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is a lot of fun and extremely gratifying.

It teaches you how to organize, think logically, communicate, work in teams and be more creative.

Why C++
You can do a lot after learning C++. You can make games, use the Arduino board to make cool projects or even program planes if you are allowed to do that. The only limit you have is your imagination. The main benefit of C++ is that it is very portable between operating systems and compilers. This means that the same code can be used in Windows, Linux, etc. C++ has a large community support with developer forums, online tutorials, Facebook community groups, which is very significant for beginner programmers. It’s much easier to learn as you can ask other people in the community if you get stuck. C++ is also very scalable and flexible in multiple environments. This means that it can be used by beginner programmers and advanced professionals for different purposes. It can also be used to code games, applications, software and apps. C++ is wildly used in graphics and is now used in emerging technologies like image processing, pattern recognition and in embedded systems like location tracing. C++ is more efficient at using computer memory, so it saves space on your hard drive.

However, programming can be hard to learn. Especially if you start reading advanced books. You need a step-by-step guide to get started. This book starts off with the very basics; how to install the software, set up and write your first lines of code. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that can test your new found knowledge and move you ahead.

And then, we get you a few more advanced skills that can get you started making websites.

Even if you've never touched a computer in your life, you will find this book useful.
