Hey everyone! I’m creating a unique Python programming book called Learn Python through Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales. I realized that the classic stories from hundreds of years ago are great teaching tools for learning to code. The simplicity and logic of the poems/stories allows them to be “translated” into computer programs that demonstrate different programming concepts. Every Python...

Hey everyone! I was inspired to write this book when I realized that classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales could be written logically as computer programs. I found that their simplicity and brevity allows them to be "translated" well into code examples that demonstrate different programming concepts. The code is explained below each program in the book. I chose the Python language...

Hey everyone! I’m writing this book to teach Python basics to beginners (of all ages!)…with a picture book! The story is told with Python programs that represent real-life situations. The programs are next to full-page illustrations that show what is described in the code. Each Python program acts as a code example that demonstrates a new Python concept. This is my second book- the first A...

Hey everyone! I’m writing this book to solve a big problem- beginner programming examples are BORING! Who wants to see “Hello World!” printed on the screen when you could be printing the number of pizzas left over at a party? This book is all about having fun learning to code by reading a story told through code that describes situations in the story. I also see this book as a fun reference...

Hey everyone, I'm writing a picture book written in C code! The code represents situations in the story and the illustrations next to the code show the situations. My target audience is anyone who wants to learn C and logical concepts in a fun way. I also want it to be a fun reference with simple code examples to look back on. Here's my landing page: https://www.dayincode.com. I'm planning to...

SoundBrake 2.0 is the first headphone gadget that lets you be totally immersed in your music, yet still be able to clearly hear important outside sounds. It listens to your surroundings and instantly streams outside sounds into your headphones that are louder than a custom alert level. This allows you to hear outside sounds such as a door knock, phone call, announcement, car honk, someone...
