About the Beginning Beginner's Series
This Beginning Beginner’s series of books was born out of a frustration: Most Beginning books on web and mobile development were not designed for true beginners.
Often in beginners’ books the language was over complicated and laden with jargon that only those with programming experience understand. The books assume too much prior knowledge or experience. In the end, many people new to programming gnashed their teeth in frustration and gave up.
The fact is that programming is completely approachable and even fun to learn if taught correctly.
That’s exactly what the Beginning Beginners’ Guide series aims to do: Help true beginners learn to code.
This series of programming books is for you if you’ve never written a line of code before—or if you’ve tried to learn from other books unsuccessfully. You CAN learn to code well. You don’t have to be mathematically oriented, or uber-intelligent.
Learning to code won’t always be easy—but it is doable. If you can manipulate an Excel spreadsheet, you can learn programming.
