Sets out to teach you the basics quickly so that you can solve problems, make things, and do cool stuff. In each chapter, Eric Matthes explains a new programming concept and includes a set of exercises to help reinforce your new knowledge.  Three hands-on projects, a simple video game, using data visualization techniques to make interactive graphs and charts, and a simple Web application put your new programming skills into practice, so it's not just syntax and theory.
