ed Shaw’s Hard Way Series emphasizes instruction and making things as
the best way to get started in many computer science topics. Each book in the
series is designed around short, understandable exercises that take you through a
course of instruction that creates working software. All exercises are thoroughly
tested to verify they work with real students, thus increasing your chance of
success. The accompanying video walks you through the code in each exercise.
Zed adds a bit of humor and inside jokes to make you laugh while you’re learning.
