I've found this to be a little simple for anyone who's programmed before. Maybe it's gotten better since I last checked it out.


It is quite simple for beginners, but I have the feeling that when you are about half way in, you don't really learn so much from the book. It often tells you to go find out yourself. I have no problem finding out things on my own, but there is a reason I bought this book. My 2 cents.


No I agree. Came from c++ that I haven't done in 4 years and I'm blowing through this. Definitely need something more comprehensive.


I've used this to introduce myself to coding and it is a great book, worth much more than the $3 asking price.
