These are the unofficial top 10 Technology books in the UK for the week ending Saturday 17th November 2018. What an interesting mix of titles this week. Of note are the “Get Coding Learn HTML, CSS and Javascript and build a website, app and game” books. I’ve gone through the various intro to coding titles with my children and looked at languages like Scratch, Beebot etc which while useful dumb down the technology a little too much for my liking. When my generation learnt to code we were straight into simple BASIC and then machine code as soon as we discovered the limitations of BASIC. These new Get Coding books look great because at least they are teaching real, marketable skills that will actually be of use in the workplace or on a real-life project. If you are looking for an alternative to Scratch or a follow on from Scratch for your children (KS1 / KS2) then I’d certainly recommend you take a look at these two titles.
