1) Paperback Book Beginning Programming For Dummies (Beginning Programming for Dummies) by For Dummies. Excellent service, the book is as described. My student has been using it with great success.¤

2) Paperback Book Beginning Programming For Dummies (Beginning Programming for Dummies) by For Dummies. Unfortunately I have a copy of this book published in 1999.
There are many errors. I´m no programmer but I know you can´t name the same variable 2 different ways [mynum% vs number%] and expect the program to work. Those typos -and the : instead of ; typos - I can fix. Some of the others my newbie self can´t figure out.

I was enjoying working my way through the book until I got to Chapter 12 where the errors were just too much to cope with!

I´m guessing if you have a newer edition you´ll be fine, don´t buy the older editions unless you like to solve mysteries.¤
