# Coding Picture Books A Day in Code is an Illustrated Story Written in the C Programming Language By Shari Eskenas | Published 2020-06-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beginner-programming-books References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/914595512/a-day-in-code) This picture book, A Day in Code, is not an ordinary programming book. It uses simple C programs to describe situations in a continuous story about a fun-filled day. The [full-page illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/code-to-image) next to the code pages show the situations. The code is also explained below each program. In contrast to a typical introductory program that outputs a mundane value, a program in this book will output the number of pizzas left over after a pizza party. All the programs in the book can be compiled with a C compiler and run on one's computer. Beginners will enjoy learning [core programming concepts and C syntax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codeventure) by reading this fun picture book. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Picture Programming Books:** Explore the trend of using visual storytelling to teach programming concepts, creating engaging and accessible learning experiences. - **Interactive Coding Picture Books:** Discover the trend of integrating interactive elements into coding picture books, enabling hands-on learning and experimentation. - **Programming Education for Beginners:** Embrace the trend of using beginner-friendly language and approaches to teach programming, making it more approachable and enjoyable for new learners. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education and Publishing:** The education and publishing industries can leverage coding picture books to develop innovative learning materials and reach a wide range of learners. - **Edtech:** The EdTech industry can capitalize on interactive coding picture books to create new digital learning platforms and tools that combine storytelling and programming education. - **Children's Media:** The children's media industry can seize the opportunity to create engaging and entertaining coding picture books that foster early interest in programming and technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Introductory CS Textbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-book-for-kids.md) - [Interactive Infant Coding Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-engineering-for-babies.md) - [Physical Coding Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codee.md) - [Educational Coding Language Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artie-max.md) - [Preschool Coding Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codie-blocks.md) - [Quick-Learning Coding Lessons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duolingo-for-coders.md) - [Family Restaurant Picture Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-e-cheese-and-genius-cat-books.md) - [Code Cracking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/locked-crack-the-code.md) - [Children Coding Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coding-critters-magicoders.md)
