The volumes in the Code Creator series (8 titles) reflect a sampling of platforms where teens can learn different types of coding. Each begins with an introduction to the specific type of programming and how to get started using it. The guides then present 10 cumulative activities that let readers build skills gradually. Accompanied by a few stock photos of diverse computer users, the text, written in short, clear, step-by-step paragraphs, is strongly paired with images of example codes. Guided questions and opportunities for experimentation reinforce comprehension and creativity. Developing Music with Sonic Pi explains music basics (notes, chords, and melodies) using the program's synthesizer and more advanced techniques needed to create compositions. Concluding with a "Career Connections" section that offers real-world applications, this STEM series will benefit a variety of budding coders.

Music used to be created in recording studios, first using analog tape and eventually moving to digital tracks. In the twenty-first century, musicians do not need a recording studio to create music; all they need is a computer and some passion. Those with an interest in coding and a talent for music can use Sonic Pi, a live coding environment based on the Ruby programming language, to create simple tunes or masterful compositions. This lively guidebook offers a series of unique activities, starting with live loops and progress to using envelopes and samples, to start readers on a musical coding journey.
