Summary: PLEASE MR. PERRY!! MORE BOOKS!!!
Review: After reading books on almost every computer language there is, and then some, Mr. Perry's style was a breath of fresh air. All too often technical writers, especially those in the computer languages, seem less interested in truly teaching concepts and more interested in impressing us with their empty jargon.Mr. Perry, if you read this, PLEASE we could use somebody with your style in Java. Nice work Mr. Perry and I highly recommend this book to anyone. (Many of those other computer language authors out there could use this as a "style manual"--a "how to" on writing to teach.)

Summary: Buy the book. I got more out of it than I thought possible.
Review: An honest title that accomplishes it's goals and more. I recommend it highly. Glad this was my first book on programming.

Summary: decent book but author's background dubious
Review: An OK primer for beginners, covering the rudiments of programming well. But before you buy this, or any other of Mr. Perry's books, I suggest you look into some of his virulently hateful non-computer-related comments; for example, those published on his own web site, www.gregandjayne.com. This site has since been sanitized, but you can still access the page www.gregandjayne.com/GregsCorner.htm by going to Google and typing in the words "still proudly intolerant of homosexuals" into the advanced search exact phrase box.

Summary: Not for Macs!
Review: Fine book in general; I have some pedagogical reservations about the level of detail. But be warned: you need to have MS-DOS with Qbasic to work with it.

Summary: What a terrific book!
Review: From frustration of trying to read many other books about programming, getting bits here and there, I bought this book from the online reviews and the synopsis. Greg Perry puts it all together in very simple and understandable terms. I am excited about actually getting things to work and now have the skills I have been needing to do the programs I want. I feel ready now to start into the world of Visual Basic and C. Will be back to a great company who handled all my needs so very well. Thank you a million times. END

Summary: absolute beginner!
Review: I bought this book because of the glorious praise it received on this website, as well as on others. I am definitely an ABSOLUTE beginner, and found the first four chapters extremely easy to read and informative. I was very much looking forward to Chapter 5 and beginning to program. The book DOES NOT provide a CDROM with the necessary programs, and if you are an absolute beginner like me, you probably have no idea where you can get these programs (except to purchase them all). I'm still bewildered. If the programs were available I would give a much higher star rating.
