Ideal for digital technology teachers, computer science instructors, and schools, this book employs Scratch, a playful and free programming environment, to make coding accessible to learners of all ages.

Author Majed Marji leverages Scratch to demystify essential programming concepts, turning complex problems into manageable challenges. With clearly labelled, colour-coded blocks representing each logical step, and the ability to test your script with a single click, the book provides a user-friendly interface to foster logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Key features include:

  • Utilising repeat loops and recursion effectively
  • Implementing if/else statements and logical operators for decision-making
  • Storing data in variables and lists for future use
  • Reading, storing, and manipulating user input
  • Applying fundamental computer science algorithms like linear search and bubble sort

Engage in hands-on projects such as creating an Ohm's law simulator, crafting intricate patterns, programming sprites to mimic line-following robots, and developing arcade-style games. Each chapter is a treasure trove of detailed explanations, annotated illustrations, guided examples, colourful visuals, and exercises designed to reinforce the learning process.

Majed Marji, a senior development engineer at General Motors and adjunct faculty member at Wayne State University, brings his expertise to life in "Learn to Program with Scratch." Whether you're a novice or an experienced learner, this book provides a painless initiation into the world of computer science.
