This is cool: Marijn Haverbeke is preparing to publish a free book that serves as an introduction to computer programming and is using the JavaScript language as the means to his end.
If you’ve ever been interested in the aspects of true programming, this may be worth a look.
I think that this particular approach is extremely beneficial – not only does it provide a beginner’s look at computer program architecture and how to write code, but it does so using one of the most popular programming languages today.
You can read the book for free or purchase it from Amazon.

Tom says
Yeah – love the idea of starting big and starting small. Most programming books assume too much right out of the door..
