This book is the perfect blend of education and fun for kids 8 years and above looking to learn one of the easiest languages to develop programs with, most everything from websites to desktop apps to games to AI. It will include 4 big projects (or capstone projects): 3 games with Turtle, Tkinter and Pygame and a desktop app with Tkinter The book starts with an overview of basic programming concepts such as variables, numbers and strings, while creating fun, personalized mini projects like "Print your Name" and "Is your mom tipping enough". It then dives right into Turtle, a Python library custom-made for kids, where they' ll learn how to draw, animate, automate and eventually make colorful mini projects based on the Python concepts learned.
