I do not see any need to change the current order of chapters. The order of presented topics is logical and ascending naturally in the difficulty level. Readers can choose to focus on a particular programming language that meets their specific needs. The text is consistent and uses appropriate terminology to the presented level. Therefore, a study plan might suggest an order of chapters to read from the first part of the book (the first fourteen chapters) and chapters that contain the actual coding examples from the second part of the book.Īdditionally, providing solutions to some selected exercises can always give readers confidence in their understanding. The best way to do this in the context of programming is by providing practical (coding) examples right after introducing a specific topic. For example, from my classroom experience, students (first-time programmers) always need some kind of reinforcement of concepts they learn. The study plan might contain the recommended reading sequence of the book chapters. However, the separation between the concepts’ introduction from the actual coding examples might be confusing for first-time programmers unless a study plan is given at the beginning of the book. Stand-alone readers can easily understand and follow the instructions provided. The expected shelf-time is over the average. The contents are up to date and relevant to the subject matter. The book described many modern programming languages that are expected to stay in high demand for the near future and far future as well in my opinion. Therefore, I can say the contents are accurate and error-free. Readers do not need to have a background in coding to successfully benefit from this book.Īfter reading the book, I did not catch any errors. The contents are comprehensive and suitable for first-time programmers or students taking their first course in programming.
