Programming for Absolute Beginners is designed to teach you the common basics that will come in handy no matter what type of development you want to specialize in. In this fast-paced, easy-to-understand book, master trainer Mark Lassoff will take you through the basics of developing programs-- and make it easy for you to learn. You'll start off learning input and output, conditionals, loops, and even basic data structures. The course uses the clear and concise Python programming language which has a common syntax with Javascript, C, Java, and many other modern languages.
