About this title

Synopsis:

Absolute Beginner's Guide to Programming Helps readers understand what programming really is. This work offers "hands on" programming for the "absolute beginner". It also includes coverage of how a computer interprets a program's instructions with insight into what goes on "under the hood" when a computer runs a program, how programming can and does relate to the Internet, and more.
