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

How To Write Retro Games: Web-Programming is a comprehensive exploration of programming that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2'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.
