It's an introduction to programming in general rather than just an introduction to a programming language, using C++ for examples.</p> <p>I've now started a new job that uses Typescript/JavaScript for backend services and I wondered if anything similar existed for these languages?</p> <p>I could just read the book again and translate to TS/JS but I would rather not. </p> <p>Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! </p> typescript javascript beginners
