Retro Web-Based Game Programming: Second Edition is a comprehensive exploration of programming that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of programming is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

As a scholar in programming, I found Retro Web-Based Game Programming: Second Edition to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to programming is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of javascript, which offers a compelling framework for understanding programming. While some may argue that javascript, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about programming.

While Retro Web-Based Game Programming: Second Edition makes several valuable points about programming, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to programming. That said, the sections on javascript are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in programming, this could be a truly outstanding work.
