The Complete Procedure Coding Book introduces students to the coding process and uses case studies, examples, and a lighter writing style to sit side-by-side with the student and bring them through learning to code. This book speaks directly to students with respect and helps them to overcome the intimidation of learning such an important new skill. Case studies, examples, and exercises are salted generously throughout the book to connect the reader with real life scenarios and to help them relate to the issues at hand.
