Free coding books
Free coding books and printable coding resources are among the most valuable additions a school librarian or CS teacher can make to their educational toolkit. Physical books complement digital learning platforms by providing a screen-free reference, a take-home resource for students who want to continue learning outside school, and a tactile artifact that students can annotate and keep as a record of their learning journey. codeguppy.com offers a growing collection of free, downloadable illustrated coding books and activity booklets available in the platform's Download section.
The platform's flagship free coding book — the "Draw with Code" activity booklet — presents 30 JavaScript programs that students can type in and run on the codeguppy.com platform. The booklet is illustrated, clearly laid out, and designed to be approachable for students with no prior coding experience. Each program introduces a new concept or technique, creating a natural learning progression that works equally well as a structured curriculum supplement or a self-directed exploration resource.
For school librarians building a coding collection or STEM resource shelf, these free downloadable books represent high-quality, curriculum-aligned materials that cost nothing to reproduce and can be printed in any quantity needed for classroom sets, coding club handouts, or library lending. For CS teachers seeking take-home materials that reinforce classroom learning, the booklets provide a concrete artifact that students can work through at home with the codeguppy.com platform open in a browser.
Visit the Download section at codeguppy.com to access all free coding books and printable materials. New resources are added regularly, making it worth bookmarking for future visits as your program grows.
