A refreshing way to learn programming and the value of programming, with a focus on the cultural value. I think it’s both a very good way to start with programming and a way to trigger your creativity when you are fairly familiar with it.

Rating it as a teacher reading it to find out how others teach: and that is one interesting read. Basics explored almost bracket to bracket. It sometimes felt heavy, but all of it is beautiful.

My expectations were set for a book that uncovers coding to rather computer-estranged audience and that was not it. This book is for people who somehow know that coding and arts/humanities go together and are eager to get through a very detailed introductory book that tries to cover all the tiny problems along the road. Now I only need that estranged–eager convertor.
