Got hardcopy of this book for Xmas from my 3 year old (yea OK the wife!) about a 1/3 into it. Have programmed c++ about a decade ago.. Nice to get back into it I have to say, there is an instant gratification from solving something in code, perhaps is the binary nature of something working or not, it's very black and white versus dealing with management issues, which is more like my day job, where your constantly in some grey area or dealing with noise, emails, endless directionless meetings. Anyway highly recommend this book for non programmers, MU is also a very nice and clean IDE but prefer VS Code.
