The Agave 'Blue Glow' is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece that looks as though it was designed by a digital artist. It features elegant, chalky blue-green leaves with striking red and yellow margins. Unlike many agaves, it stays relatively compact and does not produce "pups" (offsets) frequently, maintaining its perfect geometric shape. This plant is a deliberate hybrid between Agave ocahui and Agave attenuata. While its parent species are native to Mexico, 'Blue Glow' was bred to combine the cold hardiness and sharp lines of one parent with the smooth, manageable texture of the other.
As a Century Plant, it takes decades to bloom. When it finally does, it produces a massive, towering flower spike that can reach several feet high, featuring clusters of yellowish-green blossoms. Because it is monocarpic, the plant will die after this spectacular flowering event, but since this usually takes 10 to 15+ years, it remains a long-term companion in the garden.
All of the plants may be shipped bare root -
Thrives in full sun to light shade. To see the famous "glow" on the leaf edges, it needs plenty of bright light.
Requires rocky, sharply draining soil. A mixture of cactus potting soil with added gravel, pumice, or decomposed granite is ideal. It cannot tolerate soggy roots.
Once established, it is extremely drought-tolerant. Water sparingly roughly once every 2 weeks in summer and once a month (or less) in winter. -

Surprisingly Accessible for All Ages
This is an excellent introduction to coding concepts. The book is beautifully laid out with clear, step-by-step instructions and helpful diagrams that make complex ideas easy to understand.
The highest praise I can give is that I've been reading it side-by-side with my 5-year-old, and the visuals and explanations are simple enough for her to grasp the basic concepts. It sparks great conversations about how technology works.
It's a fantastic resource not just for adult beginners, but also for parents looking to introduce computational thinking to young children in a fun, engaging way. Highly recommended for visual learners and family learning.

Slightly disappointed
I’m already familiar with most of the languages in this book, but I figured it would be fun to do some of the projects they had inside. I was disappointed to find out when I received it, that the first two images on the product listing are not from this book. I was looking forward to building a password generator which it does not have in here. Also, the ‘build a game’ page for Scratch is different too. You still build a game but not what you expect from what is shown on Amazon.
Still worth picking up if you want to learn to code or teach your kids.

Must Have For Beginner Coders
I am just starting out learning the concepts of coding, because I would like to start making my own video games as a hobby. I have purchased other "how-to" guides for beginners, which ended up being very confusing and required a more intermediate level of knowledge with coding. I am very happy with this book, as it provides straightforward and easy to understand lessons in four different coding languages, along with access to a free-to-use coding program so you can practice each lesson step-by-step in real time. The book is very colorful and laid out well with lots of pictures to illustrate each step in the process. I highly recommend this book for people like me, who are just starting out with coding and want to grasp the fundamentals before jumping into the deep end.

High quality!
I am not a seasoned programmer, so I cannot compare this to other resources available. Regarding the book itself, though, it is very high quality. The book itself is a hard cover with very high production values. Everything is illustrated and easy to understand. Like I said, I cannot vouch for the nitty-gritty that an expert might be able to, but from my perspective, this is a great place to start as a beginner.
