yeah if you're actually 100% new to code, this book is pretty terrible, at least for the way I learn. if you're already familiar with the common programming concepts, then this book is probably more applicable, but still hugely inefficient.

i like it as a thing that exists, but I got started programming via self-taught ruby, and the _why guide had almost nothing to do with that, despite wanting to like it.
