In teaching Computing Science to high school students, he has learned which coding concepts new coders find difficult to understand, learn, and master. He has also found that students learn better when writing programs that they can engage with rather than simple programs they find boring and pointless. Teaching is his passion and in particular teaching computer programming and developing computational skills. His work with Code Angel has allowed him to take his teaching beyond the classroom and offer a wealth of resources for developing new programmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 177\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42105229148295,"sku":"9781484253045","price":59.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/12674ee73fb8467bcdff70843561608b.webp?v=1732432310","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/game-programming-with-code-angel-learn-how-to-code-in-python-on-raspberry-pi-or-pc-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
