My friends 11 year old son is all about Roblox. He has been for a few years now. I think this would be a great gift for kids who are into coding.

Thank you, arrived as described.!!

This gives indepth information on coding for ROBLOX. My son is really invested in making games for Roblox. This book has helped him develop his game. I have read this to so I can test the code that he wrote for him. This gives more information than simply watching the videos on youtube.

The book is great but it would have been better if it could provide a c.d. for the practical codes of the studio
