Great for beginners

Very comprehensive overview and introduction to programming
I’ve been programming professionally for about 18 years now, and have programmed in most of the main programming languages. I’m currently the lead developer and owner of a web design shop. I picked up this eBook, looking for a good resource for new hires – and was very happily surprised with the depth and knowledge within these pages. Mr. Clark does a terrific job introducing programming in general, comparing the main programming languages and then covering the basics of programming – the universal concepts that are shared across all languages. Each programming language will have its own syntax and nuances but having a resource that introduces and explains the core concepts with basic examples is extremely useful. I’ll be recommending this eBook no any developer just starting out, even if they’ve been in it for a few years.Easy to read and covers a lot of ground!

A brief introduction.
This guide provides a brief introduction to programming that is great for the price. It’s not the most detailed or comprehensive look at the subject, but it should suffice for those just getting started.
Andrew Smith –
It’s okay. There are better options.
I think the book has some good information, but it’s filled in too much with simple, basic things that everyone could have already deduced on their own.

Building Blocks for Success
My expertise is in Business Analysis, Quality Assurance and Project Management. To be a more effective IT Leader, I set a goal to learn programming. I wanted to have a holistic view of software development. This book was perfect as I really needed the foundations. I am excited to take this knowledge and delve into learning Java.

Good foundation
The author communicates the mindset behind programming, laying the groundwork that enables one to learn a language toward a goal with confidence that they’ll be using each piece of information along the way.It’s hard to learn something that feels completely irrelevant; this book helps alleviate that problem by using examples of how and where something might be used across a variety of programming languages.I believe it’s a great tour across programming, and has helped me feel much more confident in what I’ve learned from other books, tutorials, and projects, as well as what to begin to learn in the future. If only I came across this book when I first began learning programming!

Comprehensive and Great Starting Point for Beginners
I am not a tech guy, but wanted to learn more. So I picked up Nathan Clark’s book for beginning programming, and was given foundational instruction to start me on my way. The author offers in a very clear and concise manner guidance to the breadth of terminology and concepts needed to learn basic programming. He covers a spectrum of topics and languages to orient the newbie to the field. I highly recommend this book for beginners and for other people interested in the topic. He makes a complex subject easier to understand.

Not quite what I was expecting, but fine
One star docked due to simple text errors.I am looking for material to help teach older kids programming (beyond scratch) and this book is definitely more for adults. That said, there’s nothing I actually don’t like: it’s concise so that it is quite thorough in a neat 190 pages.To be truly “for beginners”, probably want to keep other basic references handy.

This book allowed me to exhale and take in the basics. I’ve been trying to figure out a new career path to enhance my skill set, trying so many new things. I started this last night & on chapter eleven now… quick read but I feel like someone listened in on my chaotic mind and took it from the top to allow me to focus. I’ll be looking in to the other books for sure. And I wouldn’t have given a review until I read the “my wife & I read each and every one of them” line in the book. Well done!

Half through the book. Glad I got it. It may not cover everything but it definitely make programming language less confusing. I am a newbie and before reading this book, computer programming jargon was really a pain and so intimidating to me . It gets clearer to me now the meaning and how computer programming works thanks to Nathan Clark.Some areas could be included in the book is giving more examples from Python language as it is getting so popular and often chosen as the first language for new programmers. Or definitions should be explained in very simple terms too. Overall, I’m satisfied with the quality and the content of the book provided and I would recommend this book for programming newbie.

One of the best books I have read in programming…every aspiring programmer should read this book…a lot a love and care has been put in this work…more books like these should be available…Thank you for your work.

overall contents of the book all make sense though it was very brief. I bought it for my 12 year son to expose him with the fundamentals of Computer Programming.
