Secret Coders: Robots & Repeats

By Gene Luen Yang and Mike Holmes

Dr. One-Zero has added a new class to Stately Academy's curriculum. But in "Advanced Chemistry," they only teach one lesson: how to make Green Pop! While their classmates are manufacturing this dangerous soda, the Coders uncover a clue that may lead them to Hopper's missing dad. Is it time to use Professor Bee's most powerful weapon: the Turtle of Light?

From graphic novel superstar (and former computer-programming teacher) Gene Luen Yang, comes Robots & Repeats, the fourth volume of Secret Coders. This wildly entertaining series combines logic puzzles and basic coding instruction with a page-turning mystery plot!

Reviews for Secret Coders

[elizajane_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

OCT 03 - This is such a unique series. It brings mystery and adventure to learning how to code. The books build upon each other as they teach coding and the plot continues as well. Still on the search fr her missing Dad, hopper and the guys learn to put repests ans repeats within repeats into their coding along with learning how binary code and ASCII work. There are times in the story where it will ask you to write some code or guess what a given code will make. It would be great when this series is finished to publish a workbook to g aong with it.

Yeah, I'm going to stop reading this series now. Outside of the coding puzzles, the writing is just sloppy and stupid.
