   High quality!
   I am not a seasoned programmer, so I cannot compare this to other resources available. Regarding the book itself, though, it is very high quality. The book itself is a hard cover with very high production values. Everything is illustrated and easy to understand. Like I said, I cannot vouch for the nitty-gritty that an expert might be able to, but from my perspective, this is a great place to start as a beginner.

   Really is perfect for beginners
   For a true beginner like me, this book actually is a really good fit. It’s highly-visual and paced well (not so slow as to be insulting or frustrating but not too fast that your mind spins). New concepts are explained adequately for the context being presented and each language, after introducing essential concepts, comes with several projects you can do to put it in action. You probably won’t land a job after just reading this book, but it’s a great jumping off point for further study if you’re so inclined.

   Great
   This version is a little outdated to some programs now BUT with ChatGPT I’ve been able to run through the instructions easily. It’s extremely well-written and makes it fun to learn. Worth asking ChatGPT what’s wrong when something doesn’t work (it’ll tell you the update that made the code not work and how to fix it) because it’s the easiest time I’ve had trying to learn something brand new on my own.

   As a sysadmin, I can recommend this book!
   This book’s author(s) definitely know their stuff. I’m a former data center system administrator – also called a sysadmin – and finally, here’s a computer book that I can recommend to my computer illiterate friends and relatives when it comes to getting started in learning to code or to use slightly more advanced computing technologies than the average Joe user. My only gripe is that the transition from scratch game programming to python game programming involved a preliminary python for business users segment that kind of distracted from the main theme of the previous section. And then the jump to web technologies had me expecting a mention of rails, python CGI, or PHP, none of which was mentioned. Your website will look nice but have zero backend functionality. Other than that it’s a good book. I recommend it for beginners in coding, and no further. For me it was just a review.

   Must Have For Beginner Coders
   I am just starting out learning the concepts of coding, because I would like to start making my own video games as a hobby. I have purchased other “how-to” guides for beginners, which ended up being very confusing and required a more intermediate level of knowledge with coding. I am very happy with this book, as it provides straightforward and easy to understand lessons in four different coding languages, along with access to a free-to-use coding program so you can practice each lesson step-by-step in real time. The book is very colorful and laid out well with lots of pictures to illustrate each step in the process. I highly recommend this book for people like me, who are just starting out with coding and want to grasp the fundamentals before jumping into the deep end.
