Books on which we taught programming in childhood and will teach children



    When I visited Robokurs (they teach children 7-13 years old programming and robotics), I saw a collection of rare books on programming and remembered the past, the 286th without a hard drive, BASIC from RAM and more.

    I was in the eighth and from a classmate I learned that there is a "Regional Station for Young Technicians" (KJUT), where in addition to sawing cordless aircraft models with a jigsaw, there is also an innovative programming room. Signed up there. There were the first network battles in NETWARS, and the first porn picture, and the war for the password of the main administrator. There were practically no adequate books, especially on the BASIC beloved by me (only “Programmyshka” and another pinkish book, from where I found out what the array is and what can be done with it).

    I want to ask habrachitateli on what books they took the first steps in programming.

    Under the cut is a brief review of one modern and several old-school Soviet books on robotics and programming for children from the collection of teachers. ( Bonus is an overview of the manga on electricity .) And in the comments are your first books.



    Programming for children




    The publishing house "MIF" has released a high-quality picture book on the study of SCRATCH and Python. Fun styling / pixelation, quality printing, accessible presentation. I don’t know about grandma, but mom and dad can finally learn python.



    In my opinion, a very suitable approach: if you want to learn how to program, write your game. What the authors teach throughout the book.

    I think it’s better to see once:

    Would look like the presentation of the material


    here is the game that will be a novice programmer to write


    on someone leveled


    What to do next and how to develop in the field of programming


    As an option - IS

    Journey to the land of robots




    The peculiarity of the book is a huge number of sensible references to key moments in the history of automatic systems - from Neanderthal traps to mammoths, Jacquard maps, Watt controller, Foucault pendulum, etc., to the Bebbage machine, works by Wiener Ashby, spacecraft, ENIAK, BESM. The author looks into the future, analyzing the work of Asimov and Lem.



    Programm




    Oh, my first book. Written by the French in 1985, translated into Russian in 1990.

    images

    That's how I learned to use GOTO.


    Work with animation and pseudographics.


    Take out the brain with the surrounding squeaks of a speaker.


    And so we were scared of bugs.


    Here is my second book on programming:

    But it was of little use in school, but it was useful at the university.

    Robert



    1975 cute art book about robot adventures

    Computer Literacy Basics



    The book is simultaneously from Palo Alto (this is Silicon Valley, if that) and Boston (this is the second Silicon Valley).
    The book has a lot of tasks and prog on basic, there are control questions. For home schooling in those days - a cool book.

    And here Lisp

    Neural interfaces and biofeedback


    And it's probably facebook or skype


    Well, the crimes are right there


    Language and computer




    1989 book for older people.



    The book tells about semantics, the conceptual core, phonosemantics. What is the difference between the phonosemantic halo of the "Vrobar" from the "lion"?

    What robots dream about




    Again the French. What I especially liked was the comic book format. And hardcore in some moments.

    Do robots dream of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox?
    spy















    And finally - MANGA




    gimlet rule, pnp transitions and more

    Now I want to study electricity.









    And it all ends with virtual reality. Take off your glasses, Neo.


    What did the "Robocourse" teachers "bribe" me for, that they monitor not only modern books and methodologies for programming and robotics, but also rare Soviet books and foreign publications:



    What is your first programming book?
