I purchased this for my 11yr old daughter who is into computer technology and always wants to know more about computers. She kinda grumbled when she received it, but I am already seeing results that she is reading and understanding it. I believe this is a great book if you want to know the ins and outs of computer programming.
Easy to use. Precise. Sometimes with internet overload...looking in the index of a book and seeing examples, step by step is exactly what is needed. Anyway, how can I learn from a video when I need the screen to do the code!
