Don’t worry; this guide’s just for your family!
Technology continues to improve at a breakneck pace. So even grown-ups have trouble keeping track of all those lines of code, and ones and zeros.
But fear not! This Coding for Kids audiobook provides lessons, upon lessons, to help your child improve, and learn the ropes.
Inside, you’ll learn valuable skills such as:
- Basic Terminologies and Definitions
- Programming Language
- Javascript and Python

Let me clarify: first of all, this audiobook is meant for parents that want to help their kids learn how to code, i.e. it is not meant to be listened to directly by the children.
Overall this audiobook lasts for about 3h 24' and the second chapter consists of 11 plus minutes of definitions and it is very very boring. The author warns the listeners that the definitions are likely not so interesting to the children, but that the parents need to at least have a basic understanding of them; the problem is that in 11 minutes at about one definition every 12-15 seconds, results in about 50 definitions being read out loud in the driest possible way, that is following alphabetical order. So the author starts at algorithm and continues with array: the former being a fairly high level concept and the latter a data structure commonly taught in Computer Science classes. Even though the author makes an effort to explain the terms well, I cannot imagine that a person that is not intimately familiar with the subject would remember anything at all: this is important, because it is likely that a parent that does not know much about computers would want to listen to this book before attempting to teach the subject to his or her children; people like me wouldn't need to listen to this, because we already know all of these terms and much more; in particular, we had the advantage to actually trying to program systems that use those very concepts. Unfortunately, a dry list like that would be like to try to teach martial arts to an adult via an audiobook: one would be able to communicate the philosophy, but what if the audiobook started teaching dozens of - say - Japanese words, and then in the later chapters, tried to explain the listeners how to position their body to perform a certain technique? It probably wouldn't work too well.
The chapters that follow are less dry and more interesting to your average well-intentioned parent, but again, at times the author tries to teach lines of code to the listeners, spelling them word per word, and sometimes character per character, and frankly I cannot imagine that anyone would be able to get anything from this. I believe that this same content in a more traditional book-made-of-paper format would be a much better fit, or maybe a set of video tutorials where the parents can hear and see how things work.
As it is right now, I cannot recommend this audiobook to any but the most tenacious of parents.
