Computer Programming for Beginners: Fundamentals of Programming Terms and Concepts

★ Every Conceivable Topic a Complete Novice Needs To Know ★

If you are a newcomer to programming, it's easy to get lost in the technical jargon, before even getting to the language you want to learn.

What are statements, operators, and functions?

How to structure, build and deploy a program?

What is functional programming and object-oriented programming?

How to store, manage and exchange data?

Many programming guides don't cover these topics, as they are assumed to be general knowledge to most developers. That is why this guide has been created. It is the ultimate primer of all programming languages.

What This Book Offers

Zero Knowledge Required

This guide has specifically been created for someone completely new to programming. We cover all the concepts, terms, programming paradigms and coding techniques every beginner should know.

A Solid Foundation

This guide will form the foundation for all future programming languages you may encounter. It doesn't focus on merely one specific language, but rather the principles that apply to all programming languages.

Detailed Descriptions & Code Samples

Emphasis has been placed on beginner-friendly descriptions, supported by working code samples from the most popular languages, such as C#, Java and Python, to help illustrate concepts and terms.
