This is the book i used to learn programming 10 years ago! After that I never really learnt anything new.. been using the same concepts.

  Did you use it to learn programming as a novice to the field? I have always wanted to learn programming as a hobby, but never really found the right entry point. Would you recommend this?

    I would start with Python instead of C++, if you just want to learn a useful tool as a hobby. The official tutorial is a good starting point: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html

    For hobby programming, Python is the best (unless you want to do web development in which case JavaScript is what you want). For Python, a really good book for beginners is Python Crash Course.

    This is a solid entry point, though you'll get more immediacy out of learn python the hard way. However starting with python (like I did) will 'leave things out' and Principles is great for filling those holes.
