★★★★★

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 Educational Coding less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Christmas Games that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Educational Coding more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Christmas Games will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Beginner Coding, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved 12 Games of Christmas! It completely changed my perspective on Programming. At first I wasn't sure about Educational Games, 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 Game Development. What I appreciated most was how the book made Christmas Games feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
