Great for code writing
This is a great book for beginners that covers everything from set up to core principles. It’s easy to follow and has through explanations. It really helped me with the vocabulary of what these programs are and how to use them properly.

Excellent Resource
This book was a great find! It takes an in-depth look at the top four programming languages. Each section is solely devoted to explaining each of the programs, their history, how and when to use each one, and a lot more. If you want a great overview of these four, this is the book for you! It’s a very good resource that I’m sure I’ll return to again and again.

Programming Simplified
I started out with Python and now want to learn Java Script. This book provides 4 programming languages. Learn the fundamentals and then move on to the advanced concepts. I would love to get to the point where I can collaborate with others. Everything is constantly changing and evolving, so practice and more practice is what I need. The core concepts are there, and I’m learning the operation functions. If you’re brand new to coding, I think this book will be helpful. There are no pictures, the information is very detailed. I refer back to the book often.

Excellent way to learn
This guide walks you through each program from the basics, the functions,to advanced uses. It has great exercises along the way so you learn how to do what they just taught you. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to keep with technology and learn more.

Lots of great information even if you’re not a beginner
This book was exactly what I was looking for regarding Python and SQL with plenty of examples and relevant to what I need. The Java portion was a little over my head but a lot of great information should I steer in that direction.

A must have guide for tech professionals
As someone who’s always been intimidated by the world of programming, I can confidently say this book is a game-changer. “Python, Java, SQL & JavaScript” is not just another coding manual – it’s a comprehensive roadmap to mastering the most in-demand programming languages in today’s tech industry.What sets this book apart is its perfect balance of breadth and depth. It covers four crucial languages – Python, Java, SQL, and JavaScript – with enough detail to take you from complete novice to confident programmer. The Python overview is particularly impressive, providing a solid foundation that I’ve already used to automate tasks at work.I was particularly impressed by the 13 tips for avoiding common pitfalls. These insights have saved me countless hours of frustration and have accelerated my learning process significantly. The sections on best practices for clean, efficient code have been invaluable as I’ve started collaborating on team projects.The real-world projects and examples are where this book really shines. They provide practical applications for each language, allowing you to immediately apply what you’ve learned. I’ve already built a small web application using the JavaScript knowledge I gained from this book!One of the book’s strengths is its focus on troubleshooting and debugging. These skills have proven crucial in my programming journey and have given me the confidence to tackle more complex projects.I appreciate the author’s attention to the human side of programming as well. The section on imposter syndrome was eye-opening and has helped me navigate the tech industry with more confidence. The insider knowledge on finding high-paying jobs is a bonus that sets this book apart from other programming guides.If I had one minor critique, it would be that I wish there were more advanced topics covered. However, for beginners and intermediate programmers, the content is perfectly pitched.Whether you’re a complete coding novice or looking to expand your programming repertoire, this book is an essential resource. It’s not just about learning to code – it’s about preparing for a successful career in tech.Don’t let the fear of programming languages hold you back from pursuing your tech dreams. With “Python, Java, SQL & JavaScript,” you’ll be building impressive projects and standing out in the job market in no time. This book isn’t just an investment in your coding skills – it’s an investment in your future in the tech industry. Highly recommended!

Interesting
I know next to nothing about stuff like this, im going to keep this so I can keep referencing it while learning. Not bad what I have read so far. im too slow on this stuff to know how much is truly for beginners though.

I picked this book because, even though I know Java/SQL very well (I’ve been a programmer for 20 years), I wanted to learn about Python. Even though I do know some Javascript, I thought I might be able to pick up some extra techniques from this book.Another comment said that the book was written with AI. I don’t know whether that was the case, but there are big issues concerning that book.First, the target audience was supposed to be beginners, but in many instances, there were uses of words that wouldn’t make sense to beginners. The later sections for every language showcase some advanced stuff that wouldn’t be useful for beginners.If you are an advanced programmer (like I am), the beginning of each section is LONG and doesn’t provide any useful information (I don’t need to learn where I can download Python if I’m an advanced user); the middle section (where you’re supposed to be learning the language) is trivial, and the later section does fly over too quickly to be of any use to me.So, the user should target one audience and stick to it. As it stands, the book will satisfy neither beginners, nor advanced users.Next, the order in which things are presented isn’t always quite logical. Some fundamental things (like indexes for databases) are presented in passing. There are outright errors (no, garbage collection isn’t a Python-only thing). The number of examples is very low, and you can’t copy them outright (especially in Java: good luck finding the package names for the classes used in the examples). There are no pictures to explain fundamental complex ideas (like inheritance).All in all, I found that book to be low value

I didn’t even make it past the introduction.Here are some samples:”Python is popular with scientists because it is free for anyone to use.Also, programs like Numpy and Scipy make it easier for computer scientists to do experiments with less code.Since Python is also better at mathematical calculations and software, Scientists have no choice but to use it these days.AI and machine learning are now two technologies that can be used together to give more jobs to developers.There are a lot of third-party libraries for Python, like Tensorflow, that are all about implementing Machine Learning algorithms.”I closed the book and deleted it after that. It reads like it was written by a 12 year old AI program.Also, the chronology doesn’t make sense when he is describing his love of python.Check this out:10 years ago (2014) he apparently got into programming by modding his pokemon game. Then a number of years after that (let’s say …. 2017 or 2018 or even 2019?) he discovered Python “in its initial stages”. Python was a very well developed langauge by that time and was definitely not in its initial stages.He also says he has 20 years of python programming experience, even though he discovered it in 2019.So is it currently the year 2039? Is he a time traveler?Don’t bother with this. There are plenty of real books out there written by real humans. There’s something suspicious about this book.

I am new to programming, but this book made it easy for me. Really helpful and comprehensive. It is definitely one of the easier programming books to follow and I am really glad I bought it.
