As someone who's always thought coding was for either geniuses, mathletes, or nerds, this book proves that you don't have to be any of these to start coding (ok maybe a little nerdy). "Learn to code now" lets you do exactly that, learn to code. You won't learn about the history of computers or the theory of computer science. But you most certainly will be able to code a simple, albeit beautiful and functional, website from start to finish, using the latest techniques and tools and without *any* prior knowledge of anything code. Again, as someone who tried getting into coding for over a year, I think this book, as well as Superhi's courses, are second to none.

I learned a lot and liked the brisk conversational writing style (compared to Jon Duckett's HTML & CSS book, which I also enjoyed but felt quite long to get through). The book definitely could benefit from an editor to tweak the copywriting and remove numerous annoying typos & spelling mistakes. Also liked the visuals to explain/solidify concepts and would have loved more throughout. Ambitious perhaps, to show visual results of sample code beside examples? All in good time for the next edition.... :-)

This book is hard to rate, as I'm coming as a student of SuperHi. A lot of the examples covered are very easy for me to mentally map out, so the lack of images might turn a few people off from the book. My opinion however is that it's amazing there are no images; if you want to see what it looks like, code it yourself!

I love the conversational tone of this book compared to the technical jargon a lot of other books use. It feels more like having a conversation over lunch with a friend than being in class with a professor.

This is a decent book for anyone new to web development. Not particularly in-depth, but it covers a lot of good content for beginners, and it's written in a very readable style.
