Also:

- Please stop including math in every example. I just can't stand see another fibonacci example. Ok we get it, it's awesome for showing recursion, but use other things. Also, don't put math problem on exercises. I'm learning a language, I don't want to recap all my scholl math at the same time. I'll die if I see another "get all the prime numbers from 1 to 100" yada yada yada...

- Don't use the concept of "throughout the chapters we will be building an app...", most of the times these apps suck and are plain boring, and it's demotivating for the beginner. Instead create different small apps in every chapter.

- Bonus: It would be awesome if books started including a cheat sheet.



OMG !are you working as a programer ?


OMG yes !!! And do you know how to interpret what you read ? I never said this was for experienced programmers, only to newbies !
