Introduction

Welcome to the world of programming!

I won’t lie; it can be a frustrating world (it makes me cry at least once a week). But it’s totally worth the pain. You get to make this world do whatever you want. You can share your world with others. You can build things that really make a difference.

This book that you hold in your hands is a great way to get started with programming. Why? Because this book believes the best way to learn programming is by playing. Oh, there are a few chapters that describe fundamentals, but we only get to those after having fun. So we jump right into some pretty cool 3D animation in Chapter 1.

This is going to be a blast!
