Is this book ok for people with other backgrounds or does it require a good foundation in medicine or biology?
And could a programmer (that knows how to learn) deal with it without spending months on research?
Thanks and all the best wishes!
- noam87 9y agoum some parts are more high-level than others, but a lot would be gibberish. Familiarity with the contents of e.g "Molecular Biology Of The Cell" would greatly increase your experience. -- That book is big and exhaustive (and expensive), a focused intro to the same material is MIT "Introduction To Biology" on EDx! It's an amazing course! The book and MIT course also give a good enough conceptual intro to the chemistry concepts you need too. Obviously the rabbit hole goes deeep tho... people spend lifetimes scratching the surface.
