How to program any synthesizer is a bit of a misnomer as a title, the basics of synthesizer programming would make for a much better title imo. Just look at Caustic's own 8bit equation solver synthesizer after finishing the book :p
The book makes use of (the free all-platform including mobile (semi-free if you want to use MIDI on mobile though) softsynth DAW) Caustic's SubSynth to guide you into little sound synthesis experiments explaining step by step how to create different synthesizer sounds patching the subtractive synthesizer and adding effects on the audio.
Don't expect anything beyond the all-important basics, or the fundamentals but the explanations are clear and the exercises are fun.
