Beginning Programming For Dummies [Dummies1337]

❂   Beginning Programming For Dummies   ❂
by Wallace Wang  (Author)

Do you think the programmers who work at your office are magical wizards who hold special powers that manipulate your computer? Believe it or not, anyone can learn how to write programs, and it doesn’t take a higher math and science education to start.
Beginning Programming for Dummies shows you how computer programming works without all the technical details or hard programming language. It explores the common parts of every computer programming language and how to write for multiple platforms like Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. This easily accessible guide provides you with the tools you need to:

Create programs and divide them into subprograms
Develop variables and use constants
Manipulate strings and convert them into numbers
Use an array as storage space
Reuse and rewrite code
Isolate data
Create a user interface
Write programs for the Internet
Utilize JavaScript and Java Applets
In addition to these essential building blocks, this guide features a companion CD-ROM containing Liberty BASIC compiler and code in several languages. It also provides valuable programming resources and lets you in on cool careers for programmers. With Beginning Programming of Dummies, you can take charge of your computer and begin programming today!



This will show you the world of programming. it isn't written to teach you an entire language. it only shows you how different programming languages work and teaches you about half of three different languages.
The first four chapters are a must-read for any new programmer. but after that, you should pick up a book that focuses on teaching you one programming language.

UPDATE(1/21/2014):
I have taken a programming course in ANSI-C at the University of North Texas this past fall and I have a few more things to say.
It's great to have a book like this for a context. To answer questions like: "What is it that programmers have to deal with? "What will programming do for me?" etc.
It's not good to rely solely on this book for your programming needs. During the past month I have read through a few of the later chapters and found that much of the programming style of the source codes contained in this book is sloppy. It was very ambitious of the author to try and explain such advanced algorithms and concepts in three different languages, but by doing so, I feel much valuable information was not explained well or even lost somewhere in between the pages that divide Liberty BASIC and C++.

My original assessment was accurate and after having some formal education and experience in Programming, I stand by my original review.
It's nice to criticize, but please don't rely on this book for anything other than finding out about the many different applications for programming.
