Product Information
From the Publisher
"Accessible"
"Fred Rogers, Ted Lasso, Dan Shiffman. These are the people I want to emulate, to learn from, and to look up to. The Nature of Code is an incredibly deep but shockingly accessible overview of the JavaScript Language and the incredible mind of Dan Shiffman. What a joy to explore both!"
—Scott Hanselman, VP Developer Community, Microsoft
"Wonderful"
"What a way to explain the complex! Dan has always had a knack for making the difficult seem easy on his wonderfully successful YouTube channel. Things are equally as wonderful in his book. The hands-on approach he encourages students to take before jumping into detailed analysis builds curiosity in any problem solver."
—Ania Kubow, @aniakubow, Software Developer and Course Creator on "Code with Ania Kubow"
"Engaging"
"A wonderful exploration of natural systems using approachable, witty, and smart examples that any programmer can read and implement on their own. Conversational and engaging, Dan has hit another home run with this one!"
—Rob Conery, author of The Imposter's Handbook
