I would absolutely recommend this book. It’s the book I wish I’d had when I started.

Principal Engineer and Author

Chris Pine has an uncanny ability to empathize with beginning programmers. His understanding of software, curriculum design and the science of attention continues to make Learn to Program, Third Edition the best resource I’ve ever found for those that are just getting started on this journey. I’m presently building a team of developer educators and I intend to buy a copy for every one of them as an example of how to design software curriculum.

This is an excellent book for someone who has never tried programming before, or someone who has tried but found it frustrating or confusing.

→ Justin Foote
