General information about the books

My name is Kari Laitinen and I am a "boy" from the Finnish countryside who has ended up writing books about computer programming.

Readability is a primary concern in the design of my books. Examples of computer programs that are presented in the books are written without the traditional confusing abbreviations. To make the pages of the books easy to read, I have developed a graphical way to explain the example programs.

If you are a person who is beginning the studies of computer programming, you might try my books since they do not assume any previous knowledge about the subject. Especially if you have recently started your studies about the subject, but you still feel confused about the whole concept of computer programming, my books might open you the door into the world of computers. The story of Eija Vieri-Gashi confirms that it is possible to get interested in computer programming although the whole subject might seem confusing in the beginning.

If you are a person who already has some experience in computer programming, my books might show you how to write better computer programs, and improve your programming skills. An experienced person might use the books selectively, so that he or she could concentrate on the examples of computer programs which are explained with special text bubbles.

At the moment I have three books about computer programming available. One presents programs written with the Java programming language. The two other books use the  C++ and C# programming languages. All these books are possible starting points for your studies, but perhaps the Java book is the best choice since it introduces a truly object-oriented programming language that can be used in many computers. Nevertheless, if you choose one of these books, it is easy to switch to other programming languages because the example programs are almost the same in all of these books. For example, if you know a program that is presented in my Java book, and you want to know how that particular program is written with the C++ language,  you can simply go to the homepage of my C++ book and you'll find a C++ version of that particular program. Similarly, you can get C# or Python versions of the programs presented in the Java book.
