I bought this for my 13 yo. son to help with his science fair project. He was doing AI tic-tac-toe. He didn't know any Javascript. He read through the book and completed task/example step by step. He thought it was cool enough to want to show his mom everything he did (thanks for making me cool again). He's good with computers and he's a smart kid. That being said, he didn't think that book was "dummy-downed" or too over his head.
I am a software developer already. And wanna teach my son about development. Javascript is the best skill for developers and this book very good for starting development for kids. Thanks
