Customer Review for this product :
... for the Absolute Beginner. -
The author explains programming concepts very well, despite the material making use of the relatively obscure Just BASIC language (a.c.w. BASIC, VB, and other well-known "exemplary" languages). The book also does some explaining of other programming languages (such as Perl and C++) to show differences between programming languages. Its style of training is one of many, so it will not please everyone, and it is not intended to train the reader specifically in Just Basic (which is just a stepping stone to other languages of choice). Novice programmers will have had more experience and knowledge than absolute beginner programmers, so the book's title is apt and therefore gets a high rating for its intended target audience.
