The C programming language runs the world The C programming language is a widely used language used at companies large and small. It's used in many fields including databases, desktop applications, operating systems, computer games/graphics, and embedded systems. C programming runs on devices and appliances all around you, like your phone, washing machine, printer, and car- just to name a few! C is known as the "mother of all programming languages" because so many languages borrow from it. Learning C will provide you with a solid foundation in computer programming. Get started learning to code in C with a picture book- not a textbook! Experience a colorful introduction to the C programming language and gain valuable coding skills. You can also use this book as a reference to look back on for fun and useful code examples. Review "Beautifully designed to educate and inspire. A Day in Code is a bridge between the world of computer languages and our own. A must have for all teachers wanting to introduce their students to the basics of programming." -Jeremy Moeller, K-5 Technology Instructor at Riverfield Country Day School " A Day in Code provides a unique approach to introducing people of all ages to the C programming language. Introductory topics including variables, conditions, loops, arithmetic operations, and functions are included in a fun way based on two kids walking through a day in their lives. The book is applicable to introductory programmers of all ages to provide an overview of programming in C. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to get a general understanding of what programmers do and how our minds think on a daily basis." -Jeffrey Miller, Professor of Computer Science Practice, University of Southern California (USC) " A Day in Code is a beautiful introduction to the C coding language for young children and their parents. The book explains the key coding concepts in a form of a story and makes it easy for any parent or child to type them to a computer and see the results for themselves. The illustrations will make the book appealing even to the youngest audience, but the code examples will resonate with an audience of any age. Trying out the examples in the book will open a whole new world of possibilities for those who will embark on that journey." -Marek Brejl, PhD; CEO of Coding with Kids academy From the Back Cover This picture book tells the story of a day packed with fun activities like eating pizza and playing games. But this is no ordinary story- it's written in the C programming language. Don't know C? You'll learn it in this book!
