Early praise for 3D Game Programming for Kids
I was thrilled how much my son got into programming as a result of this book. He
spent hours with it and was often surprised when his “screen time” was over because
the time just flew by. Although the book doesn’t delve into the fundamentals of software
programming (how computers store and retrieve data), kids get to see the results of
their programming right away—the pictures and animations that they created—and
are hooked into wanting to learn more.

I would recommend this book to anyone my age that is interested in coding or tech-
nology. It was very helpful and insightful about the basic (and the more complex) parts
of standard coding. This book would be great for anyone looking to jump head-first
into coding.

This is the best book a beginning programmer could get. It teaches programming
concepts in fun and entertaining ways. This book is a great start in learning to program!

It has been great fun reading this book. It takes me back to when I fell in love with
programming. After having spent the past twenty years programming solutions on the
server side, I find this 3D book a welcome diversion that offers new concepts and ideas
with instant visual feedback! I hope the book finds its way into the hands of an inquis-
itive child who gets hooked on computer programming like I did.
