About the Book

Part 1: Foundations (Chapters 1-8) is designed as a complete book that takes a complete beginner from "What is a Computer?" to building a working, interactive web application (Bunnyland). It builds conceptual understanding and includes hands-on practice.


Part 2: Mastery (Chapters 9-14) assumes Part 1 knowledge and dives into advanced patterns, architecture, and the understanding necessary to learn frameworks like React from first principles rather than through rote memorization.
