"My 12 year old son, Cole, has

never programmed before so we
bought this book not knowing
what to expect. Surprisingly, my
son easiy learned how to program
his home computer with just this
book alone (without any help from
us). All he did was keep showing
us the fun games he was writing
every few days. He had a lot of fun
creating the game projects and
took a lot of pride in. Great for
beginners. Highly Recommended!

"I picked up the "Basic Computer

Games: Microsoft Small Basic
Edition" book. I've been teaching
my kids (12 years old and 10 years
old) how to program and I
remember many of these
programs from when I was just
learning. This book introduces all
of the core programming skills
necessary to launch the interest
and passion for more advanced
programming and it does so in a
fun, easy way. My kids love it. We
use the book at home." MarkC.
