Alexander Cane

You've probably read the phrase "anyone can learn how to code" many times before you landed this book. 
While setting goals high is great, realistically speaking, coding isn't the most beginner-friendly skill to learn. 
In fact, the resources available online usually make learning how to code sound too easy, but you'll soon find out that the book, tutorial or any other guide assumes you already know the basics and have the semblance of coding skills. By the time you figure this out, you're midway through a book you don't understand and just wasted your precious time. 
This book was written specifically to: 
Give beginners a road map to follow, after choosing the type of project they want to do

How to Get the Most out of this Book
