Hello Ruby: Adventures in Coding | |
"Hello Ruby is half picture book and half activity book rolled into one adorable package. It introduces programming without requiring a computer at all. The point of the book isn’t to teach you a programming language, but programming concepts." --GeekMom.com
Meet Ruby―a small girl with a huge imagination, and the determination to solve any puzzle. As Ruby stomps around her world making new friends, including the Wise Snow Leopard, the Friendly Foxes, and the Messy Robots, kids will be introduced to the fundamentals of computational thinking, like how to break big problems into small ones, create step-by-step plans, look for patterns and think outside the box through storytelling. Then, these basic concepts at the core of coding and programming will be reinforced through fun playful exercises and activities that encourage exploration and creativity.
In Ruby's world anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
作者简介Linda Liukas is a programmer, storyteller, and illustrator from Helsinki, Finland. The idea for Hello Ruby first made its debut on Kickstarter and quickly smashed its $10,000 funding goal in just three and a half hours gathering $380,000 in total to become Kickstarter's most funded children's book.
Linda is a central figure in the world of programming and worked on edutech before it was even called that. Linda is the founder of Rails Girls, a global phenomenon teaching the basics of programming to young women all over the world. The workshops, organized by volunteers in over 160 cities, have in a few years taught more than 10,000 women the foundations of programming.
Linda has studied in business, design, and engineering at Aalto University and product engineering at Stanford University. She was selected as the 2013 Ruby Hero (the most notable prize within the Ruby programming community) and she's the Digital Champion of Finland, appointed by EU commissioner Neelie Kroes. She lives in Helsinki, Findland.
网友对Hello Ruby: Adventures in Coding的评论
前半本是个探险故事，认识下叫ruby的女孩，叫django的男孩，django有个宠物python… 以及探索精神、计划和步骤、bug和修正、协作等。后半本书介绍了ruby的另一个朋友（前半本里一直出现但一直没有被介绍）：电脑，一些基于前半本故事里的朋友的“性格”特点设计的简单习题，关于plan、data structure、pattern认知、loops、选择等。我四岁的女儿听得看得很开心。她喜欢这个故事这本书，也喜欢Ruby。
很喜欢，适合给小孩子启蒙一些计算机相关概念
给妹妹买的，送妹妹的生日礼物
Got this for my 3 year old who is admittedly too young, but why not start early. I love the book and more importantly she loves the book! We haven't gotten too far with the workbook section but I can see the critical thinking that it encourages and will be excited to try the activities as soon as my daughter takes interest. If you are unfamiliar with the concept for the book look up Linda Liukas on Ted Talks.
As a long term sub in a computer class, I was looking for a tool to help me teach the students about computers without just turning them loose on educational computer games. I bought this book to read to elementary students (KG - 3). This is probably the best book I could have found for them. I have the ability to teach simple coding concepts by first reading the story, then using the great unplugged ideas at the back of the book. As I read the story, I used the white board for a visual for the students. They loved pretending to be Ruby and going on her adventure.
I wasn't involved in the Kickstarter, so I can't comment on any of the pricing issues, but I can comment on what the book has meant to me.
No, your child is not going to "know how to code" after reading this book. This is not textbook by any means. This book teaches programming CONCEPTS, stuff helpful to understand before approaching actual syntax and advanced concepts. This is for FOUR to EIGHT year olds, so unless your kid is a child prodigy this is perfect. I love that it explains things in simple, fun ways for my two girls. This will help them with critical thinking and problem-solving skills while their brains are barely beginning to be capable of abstract thought. This book will lay the groundwork for them, and then when the time comes for tech-oriented courses they will feel completely comfortable.
I want my daughters to know that they are capable of anything, not just "girly" careers. Books like these are invaluable in changing the lopsided tech field.
Great story and it gets kids super interested in coding. After presenting this to my class, I have a huge movement with coding and computers that I am working really hard to stay ahead of their learning curve.
Amazing book! The writing and graphics are perfect for young future coders. I appreciate the links to expanded activities available online!
