โฆ Synopsis
The dozen activities in this book don't require a computer, but will help readers become masters at computational thinking. This volume stars out with activities highlighting the necessity of giving clear, direct instructions. It continues to include instructions that introduce readers to concept of computer languages, commenting on codes, number systems, and the importance of binary in coding. Fun illustrations and informative sidebars help make the volume engaging, while back matter elements like a glossary and further reading section reinforce what readers have learned and offer ways to learn more about thinking like a coder.

A single error in a line of code can cause a computer program to go haywire or stop working entirely. Luckily coding has a process for dealing with errors: debugging. Debugging consists of finding and fixing errors in code. You don't have to work as a coder to develop your debugging skills, though.
From the simplest applications to the largest networking centers, algorithms are the heartbeat of computer science. The beauty of computers is their ability to automate processes, and algorithms are the tools coders use to make that possible. They employ core computational thinking skills, including
