Coding for Kids: Learn to Code Javascript - Video Game Design Coding Software - Computer Programming for Kids, Ages 11-18, (PC, Mac, Chromebook Compatible)

Perfect for my 8 year old nerd in training. He loves gaming, building things and being creative. This is definitely something he can do and I don’t have to feel guilty about allowing it. Not only can he expand his computer knowledge, but he can learn to create the games he enjoys playing. It’s easy enough for him to use on his own without my help (as if I could really offer any anyways)

Whether you have a child whos interested in learning java coding or wants to write their own games, or youre a website designer whod like to be able to increase your own skill set, Simply Coding is a great place to start. I know what Java does from a user standpoint but Ive never coded or written my own program. But with this Game Design Software package, I had written my very own Pong game on the first night!

My 9 year old has really enjoyed this software. Having only had previous experience with Scratch he was very interested in learning to code Java script and I believe this has given him a strong base. Thank you for a good product thag helps my son engage in his passion for learning to code.

This product is great for kids as well as for adults! If you dont know anything about programming, this is a great start. If you know other programming language, this is still a great buy! My 9 year old watched my husband play around with the gaming software, and then he created games of his own with confidence. Younger kids who are comfortable with computers (so all kids these days, right?) will be fine with these instructions with a little guidance at first. Great product!

Very well explained!!!!

Awesome program great for beginners! My kids are going to love this.

I picked this software up for my 18 year old daughter. Shes a freshman in a college graphic art degree. She loves learning code. She told me this program was confusing to her, but added that she already knew how to write HTML which is part of the Javascript in this program. So trying to run through it already knowing how to do it was confusing to her. So I signed in and gave it a whirl. I was confused at first until I understood how the program works. Its a little dated in its layout - for instance once you finish a lesson you have to scroll all the way back up to the top to click on the next lesson. It would be nice to have a smoother interface - but Im here to review the content. And the couple of lessons I did were very clear and easy to follow. For me - Im not sure a younger child would follow as easily but then again, if theyre into this stuff, theyll figure it out. In addition to the written lesson theres a video overview to help you our on each lesson as well.

The program was challenging, which is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I purchased it for our son (12). The many other classes hes taken have been fun, but not an intellectual stretch for him. With the help of this course, our son transformed a loosely-held extra-curricular activity into a serious personal pursuit, completing both the java game lessons & also his first ever HTML Website.

I think overall my kid is going to learn and add to his knowledge I bought this for my 11 year old son who is homeschooled and this was an addition to regular curriculum. Im so glad I purchased it! You should know that there is no software in the box, you simply receive a web address and a code to download the software along with a 8gb thumb drive. The thumb drive itself is blank - think of it more as a freebie - you dont even need it for learning. We have a Macbook and our son was able to follow the online directions and get everything required himself. Hes a bright boy, but not necessarily a computer nerd, so a child who can listen and follow directions will be successful with this. He has had a little bit of programming instruction through the free online Khan Academy, so the first few lessons were a wonderful review for him. He ran into a few little problems with his code, so he sent a chat message through the help feature and received timely answers that helped him sort out his mistakes on his own. After a bit of trial and error, he was able to complete the tasks with help from the chat feature when required. The instructions are available are in text and also in video tutorials and each of the lesson is followed by a practical exercise. My husband and I didnt have to do a thing to help. What a relief to find a product like this that doesnt require hours of tech support and troubleshooting just to make it work for your kid!

This coding for kids game is THE PERFECT gift for kids. I love the educational “games” for kids, when they think it’s a game and they don’t realize they’re learning. This coding for kids is a 30 hour course, teaches kids to design their own software or websites. There is a free trial period, I’ll update this review later when I have more info. I got this for my 10 year old son. He absolutely loves this!
