This book teaches kids between 10 and 14 years old the basics of programming. You need a Mac computer to follow along with the examples. The examples use Terminal, nano, Ruby and irb. (Yes, I'm serious!) This book will teach you how to write computer programs! You will need to use a Mac computer to follow along. The programs are short, so you can type them all in yourself. This is true even if you can’t type well. This book has a bunch of small chapters. Each chapter is about one idea. At the end of every chapter, there will be exercises for you to do. It is really important that you do all of them! Doing the exercises ensures that you know the material in the chapter. The answers for all the exercises are in the back of the book, and there are links to the answers for all the exercises. If your parents want to find out more about this book, they can read it with you. Or, they can just read the For Parents section at the back of the book. If you’re going to use their computer, they might want to sit with you. That’s fine. They’ll learn something too! Ruby is a programming language. You speak English, but there are lots of other languages that people speak. Similarly, there are lots of different languages you can use to tell a computer what to do. Ruby is one of the easier ones to use, and your Mac comes with Ruby already installed. The program you wrote was a Ruby program!
