“Adi’s Ventures and Adventures: An Introduction to Programming” is an engaging comic book that introduces a younger audience to the world of programming through exciting and accessible challenges. The book follows a group of friends who stumble upon a mysterious ball named Adi in the forest. What seems like a simple toy soon becomes a gateway to a series of programming tasks that reveal Adi’s secrets.
The tasks in the story are not just for fun. They’re designed to teach real programming concepts typically covered in high school or university courses. However, what sets this book apart is its ability to make these concepts approachable and easy to understand. By using a simplified style of code that isn’t tied to any specific programming language, the book ensures that readers can grasp the fundamentals without getting caught up in language-specific details.
I wrote this book because I believe the best way to learn is through fun, practical examples. Drawing on my experience teaching math to students of all ages and my own journey of learning programming later in life, I realized there was a need for a resource that bridges the gap between basic understanding and more advanced concepts. Whether you're a teenager looking to expand your skills or an adult seeking a more enjoyable, accessible way to learn programming, this book will help you unlock the secrets of code in an engaging and fun way.
