Summary |
Computers are everywhere, and being able to program them is more important than ever. But since most books on programming are written for other programmers, it can be hard to get started and even harder to know where to go next. Learn to use your computer better and get it to do what you want. Starting with small, simple one-line programs to calculate your age in seconds, you'll see how to write interactive programs, use APIs to fetch live data from the internet, rename your photos from your digital camera, and more. You'll learn the same technology used to drive modern dynamic websites and large, professional applications. Whether you are looking for a fun new hobby or are interested in entering the tech world as a professional, this book gives you a solid foundation in programming. You'll learn through tons of examples and programming challenges, and when you finish, you'll know how and where to learn more. You'll be on your way! |
