The beauty in programming lies in the ability to create. As children, we conjure images of fantastical worlds within our head - imagining places, people, adventures, and monsters in an unending spiral of creation. Programming brings our imagination into the practical world, where we can create worlds that bend to our rules and enact anything you say. In essence, we become God - limited only by the confines of our computers.If Scratch is the door, then this book is your key, as it is filled with everything you need to understand and master the application.
