Anyone Can Code: The Art and Science of Logical Creativity

Anyone Can Code: The Art and Science of Logical Creativity introduces computer programming as a way of problem-solving through logical thinking. It uses the notion of modularization as a central lens through which we can make sense of many software concepts. This book takes the reader through fundamental concepts in programming by illustrating them in three different and distinct languages: C/C++, Python, and Javascript.

Key features:

• Focuses on problem-solving and algorithmic thinking instead of programming functions, syntax, and libraries.
• Includes engaging examples, including video games and visual effects.
• Provides exercises and reflective questions.

This book gives beginner and intermediate learners a strong understanding of what they are doing so that they can do it better and with any other tool or language that they may end up using later.
