"Learning a new language opens a wealth of opportunities. But there's one language family that provides benefits like no other: the languages of computer programming. Now widely taught in schools -- even in elementary schools -- programming is an eminently learnable skill that gives you unrivaled problem-solving power you can apply in all areas of life. Programming is also a fun, creative activity that imparts deep insights into how we control the devices that influence virtually every aspect of our lives."--Publisher.
