Programming Lessons

In January of 2010, I started publishing lessons on learning to program for the Haiku operating system, aimed at people who want to be able to write simple programs to get stuff done, but never had anyone around teach them. Years ago, I started teaching myself and now I am an active developer. It's my turn to give back.

In the following July, I turned all of these lessons into a book -- sometimes it's just better to have something in your hands. It can be found in both e-book and dead tree format. It can be found at Lulu.com. Very shortly thereafter, I started a new series, Programming with Haiku, aimed at developers of varying degrees of skill coming to Haiku from other platforms.
