Lyons, Heather Programming Awesome Apps (Kids get coding) 24 pgs. Lerner,
2017. $20.
This
book explains what apps are, why they are useful, and how much goes into
planning them. It features cartoon illustrations and bright layouts.
This
book does not reference an APP creator, as coding books often do –where a
student can download a free program then actually try the tasks out to create a
finished product (or part of a finished project). So I am unsure of how this book
is even useful. The book directs readers to a website to do a couple of
activities, but those activities are not yet present (2018 pub date), so I
couldn’t check them out. Although it does a great job of helping explain apps,
I just couldn’t see myself purchasing this book for my library.
