For kids and beginners of all ages, learning to code in the C programming language has never been this fun...or fast!

You will learn important programming concepts and C programming fundamentals from the story's C programs and code explanations. Variables, functions, for loops, while loops, if/else statements...it's all covered in this entertaining tale. You can run each program in the book on your computer, play with the code, and gain the knowledge to write your own programs!

The C programming language runs the world

The C programming language is a widely used language used at companies large and small. It's used in many fields including databases, desktop applications, operating systems, computer games/graphics, and embedded systems. C programming runs on devices and appliances all around you, like your phone, washing machine, printer, and car- just to name a few! C is known as the ""mother of all programming languages"" because so many languages borrow from it. Learning C will provide you with a solid foundation in computer programming.

Get started learning to code in C with a picture book- not a textbook!

Reviews for A Day in Code: An illustrated story written in the C programming language

Beautifully designed to educate and inspire. A Day in Code is a bridge between the world of computer languages and our own. A must have for all teachers wanting to introduce their students to the basics of programming. -Jeremy Moeller, K-5 Technology Instructor at Riverfield Country Day School A Day in Code provides a unique approach to introducing people of all ages to the C programming language. Introductory topics including variables, conditions, loops, arithmetic operations, and functions are included in a fun way based on two kids walking through a day in their lives. The book is applicable to introductory programmers of all ages to provide an overview of programming in C. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to get a general understanding of what programmers do and how our minds think on a daily basis. -Jeffrey Miller, Professor of Computer Science Practice, University of Southern California (USC)
