★Editor’s Note
: Programming education is currently attracting a great deal of attention. However, many people are likely unsure of where to start.
This book was created with the intention of addressing those concerns.
“Computational thinking”—a key focus in programming—is not merely knowledge for operating a computer.
Computational thinking is also useful for streamlining our daily lives and solving problems we encounter.
This book is designed to help readers apply computational thinking while tackling problems logically and creatively,
featuring problems that draw as much as possible from everyday scenarios.
We hope that by the time you finish this book, you will have acquired new skills you never had before.
We understand you are very busy, but we would greatly appreciate it if you could consider widely publicizing this book through your publication.
If your publication decides to feature this book, we would appreciate it if you could kindly let us know.
