Mere Mortals Book Reviews

Hey I'm Kyrin and I review books of all genres/styles but with an emphasis on those that have stood the test of time (i.e., not recent releases). Join me as I cover the basic details before diving into the themes, ideas and learnings we can take away from the fascinating realm of literature. Weekly live episode on Thurs 10am AEST (Wed/Thurs Midnight UTC+0) plus bonus episodes from my cohost Juan every now and then.

The Core Concepts Of Code | Coding For Beginners Using Python (Louie Stowell)


Am I simpler than a computer? I might just be!

'Coding For Beginners Using Python' by Louie Stowell is an instructions guide to learn the basics. It's a combination of simple exercises for loops/dictionaries/drawing and more complex games that mimic Minesweeper or Pong. The target audience is kids and so is set out in an easy to understand manner with plenty of colour and fun graphics.

I summarised the book as follows. "It's a nice, practical and easy to use first step. I liked the emphasis on quickly writing code even if it doesn't particularly make sense right away. I purposefully chose the most basic language and the most basic book to begin my coding journey with, and I think this was a great choice."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
