Organized as a middle-school study guide, this volume brings together foundational computing topics and introductory programming. Its subject range runs from computing systems, binary code, algorithms, and computational thinking to loops, procedures, Scratch, Python, Boolean expressions, web development, cybersecurity, HTML, and CSS. Key concepts are presented with definitions, diagrams, mnemonic devices, and doodles, giving the material several forms of explanation and reference. The broad scope makes the book a survey of both how computers process information and how people create programs and web pages.
