Microsoft has completely reinvented the beginning programmer's tutorial, reflecting deep research into how today's beginners learn, and why other books fall short. Begin to Code with C# is packed with innovations, starting with its "Snaps" library of pre-built operations. It's full of "Make Something Happen" projects that let learners practice and build skills as they create their own programs. Begin to Code with C# balances playful exposition and illustration of programming fundamentals with the readers own creative input. This full-color book will inspire students to start solving problems and creating programs with code, even if they have absolutely no programming experience.
