October 2010
“Glassner … targets a specific gap, following his philosophy ’that artists and designers are not interested in programming for its own sake, but only as a means to an end: creating expressive work.’ This book is made for people who have never written a program before or don’t feel very comfortable in the world of code. Glassner invites the reader to peek over his shoulder to learn about his programming process using a friendly and informal style, which is motivating and makes the book easy and fun to read. And if you like to cook or play the piano (I do!), you’ll feel right at home with Glassner’s many real-world analogies. … [he] shows a lot of empathy towards someone new to programming, acknowledging that it will look overwhelmingly complex at first and be hard work, but that, just like learning to ride a bike or playing chords on a piano, the complexity will soon fade away, allowing even a novice programmer to create exciting work. … I like this book and think it has a lot of value for people new to programming.”
