The Power of Coding

Coders use a variety of programming languages to write apps, websites, internet browsers, and more. Some languages lend themselves to specific uses, while others can be used to achieve nearly any programmatic goal. This timely set explores how specific languages were developed, their applications, and how they work. Each book includes biographies of key figures in the development of the language, an explanation of how programming languages evolve and work together to form the foundation of modern computing, and the comparative strength and weaknesses of the programming languages covered.
Each Book Contains:
• Biographies of innovative computer scientists, programmers, and organizations responsible for coding languages
• Examples of how each coding language is part of our everyday lives
• Resources to help young coders learn to program
• Comparative information comparing and contrasting programming languages
Curriculum Connections:
• Presents biographical and historical information about the field of computer science
• Aligns with CSTA, ISTE, and K–12 Computer Science Framework objectives
• Promotes computational thinking and career readiness
• Exposes students to the syntax and semantics of programming languages
• Empowers readers to learn how to code
• Stimulates discussions about the relationship between technology, problem-solving, and society
