Has anyone read it?

I read it, I recommend it!

How do you like the book? I'm thinking whether to buy it or not. I can’t make up my mind. I plan to ask write my essay for me for the university, I use https://ca.edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me so that I have time to read. I just want to choose the right book that will really help me in programming. Now I’m studying to become whatever I want to become in the future. This situation has probably happened to many people in their lives. I know that this book offers a deep understanding of the basic principles of programming and teaches how to apply them in practice. But I don’t know if it’s suitable for me for initial development in this direction!
