“The book will be useful for anyone who is learning to write computer code, to help them understand the importance of writing code in a way that makes it well, structured and efficient. It is good to understand this, in addition to writing code that produces what is required of it.” (M. Huntbach, Computing Reviews, August 2, 2024)
