Customer Review for this product :
The Best Introduction to Programming! -
I tried to learn programming through books like "Beginning Java 2", but found the concepts too advanced and intimidating. This book provides the perfect amount of information for anyone interested in learning their first programming language. The author first explains how computers work, how programs interact with hardware, how to design a program, and gives an overview of programming languages. The author then teaches you how to program using QBasic - an ancestor of Visual Basic. Through QBasic, all of the mysteries of programming are explained, providing the reader with a great start to learning any other programming language, especially Visual Basic. The final chapters explain object oriented programming, and explain the differences between Visual Basic, C, C++, and Java. This is a great book.
