I absolutely loved 12 Games of Christmas! It completely changed my perspective on Programming. At first I wasn't sure about Beginner Coding, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Programming is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Creative Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Beginner Coding feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★★
12 Games of Christmas offers a compelling take on Programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Christmas Games is excellent, I found the sections on Festive Learning less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Christmas Games more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Festive Learning will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Educational Coding, if not the definitive work.
