Irresponsible.
This is possibly the most irresponsible children's book ever published. The title should really be a question: "Can I be a computer engineer?" and the answer, according to this book, is no! silly Barbie, take all that hard programming stuff to the boys! it will be faster if they just do it for you. aarrrrgghhhh.
once again, women programmers are shafted by the toy industry who insists computers are toys for boys (http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when-women-stopped-coding). This has already put generations of women in challenging situations when they enter university computer science programs. This book could do something to change that. but, no.
Please, please do not buy this book.
