Summary: Son learned a lot from it
Review: I purchased this when my 4th grade son became interested in programming. He worked through the whole program and learned a lot! I'd say he generally enjoyed it, though part way through he became quite excited about programming his "own" game and I had to do a bit of nudging to have him finished the last few chapters. He did end up making his own game, too. :)

Each lesson has step by step instructions for making little programs. All of the icon images and such that you need are included in the program. There are also copies of the completed programs in case one you make doesn't quite work.

Even though my son was rather young, the program isn't babyish. (He just had an intense desire to learn the stuff.) It's very clearly laid out. I would recommend a bit of typing practice before using this.

!!!!!!!!One thing to be aware of-this DOESN'T come with the visual basic program. That program can be very costly! I also purchased the "Idiot's Guide to Visual Basic" (I hate that name!) which came with a CD and a workable version of VB.

This was the first time I purchased anything as a download. It took a bit of work to get the lessons all printed out. If I had the option of buying a disk with a printed manual, I'd go for that.

Overall, I was quite pleased.

Summary: My Viewpoint
Review: We purchased this download for homeschooling purposes along with Beginning Visual Basics by Kidware. They have different titles and descriptions but please be aware - they are almost exactly the same. I would not recommend getting both.
