This book is created by the
College of Scripting Music & Science

Always remember, that each time you write code

with a pencil and paper, it becomes imprinted so
deeply in memory that the material and methods are
learned extremely well.

When you Type the code, the same is true. The more
you type and write out the code by keyboard or
pencil and paper, the more you will learn
programming!

Write and Type EVERY example that you find.

Keep all of your code organized.
Every code that you create increases your
programming abilities.

SEEING CODE, is one thing,

but WRITING CODE is another.
Write it, Type it, Speak It, See It, Dream It.
