The book teaches programming through the Scratch programming language. That language is a visual language written using a drag-and-drop interface from any web browser. Readers don't need expensive laptop and desktop PCs. Scratch is accessible from Android and Apple tablets, and from any low-cost device supporting a modern web browser. Scratch is the perfect language for people as young as seven-years-old to learn skills in programming that can pay off later in life in the form of good-paying careers and job satisfaction.
