Every Conceivable Topic a Complete Novice Needs To Know

If you are a newcomer to programming its easy to get lost in the technical jargon, before even getting to the language you want to learn.

What are statements, operators, and functions?How to structure, build and deploy a program?What is functional programming and object oriented programming?How to store, manage and exchange data?These are topics many programming guides dont cover, as they are assumed to be general knowledge to most developers. That is why this guide has been created. It is the ultimate primer to all programming languages.

What This Book Offers:

Zero Knowledge Required

This guide has specifically been created for someone who is completely new to programming. We cover all the concepts, terms, programming paradigms and coding techniques  that every beginner should know.
