Finally a programming book for absolute beginners!
Programming can be difficult for beginners, but Java Coding For Absolute Beginners was written just for those with absolutely no experience with programming, but want to become competent coders.
The author has been teaching kids and adults programming for more than 20 years and has spent most of this time helping people with little or no coding experience to understand concepts and successfully learn coding skills.
Unlike most programming books, this one is written in a narrative style that guides you to an understanding. It isn't meant to be a reference book, but rather a tutorial that walks you step-by-step through principles, examples, and exercises.
This book is sequenced in a way to teach basic concepts first and then build on those with new ones - introducing new principles at just the right time for the most effective learning. Throughout the book you will be taught a topic and then will be given a chance to use it. The basis for this approach is that each chapter includes a section where you learn a given principle, then do what you have learned through coding examples, and then try other exercises and scenarios that will help you gain a stronger understanding of the concepts taught in the chapter.
As you use this book you will learn basic programming principles that will allow you to be a successful programmer.
This book comes with a huge number of exercises with working source code for you to learn with.
