This book is aimed at coders with a little bit of previous programming experience.Why should you choose this book?
Building larger programs and applications can seem daunting. As well as sorting out the normal details and algorithms, the big picture has to be maintained. This book helps you to see your way through the big picture – it shows you how to break your applications up into manageable chunks that are logical, and even better, reusable. To do this you are given an introduction to a style of programming called object oriented programming (OOP). This is a great way to program but might seem a little more complicated at first than the way you have learned to code in the level 1 and 2 books.Can you guess my password?
