Introduction to Programming

Have you ever thought about learning how to make your computer do what you want it to do? Do you want to learn to program but just don’t know where to start? Have all other learning resources got you confused with over explanations, rather than walking you in the right direction? Don’t worry, you have to look no further. Written by not just an industry expert, but by someone who understands the challenges faced by non-technical folks and those from a non-programming background, this book takes a gentle, hand-holding approach to getting you into the world of programming.
