About the Book

Learn recursion, once and for all.

Tired of people saying that recursion is easy? Tired of seeing the same Fibonacci and factorial examples everywhere? None of that here. No FIBbing.

Recursion is not easy. If it were, you wouldn't be here right now. But, with practice and a good coach, you can do this. You are smart. Anyone who has told you that you can't learn recursion is not.

I've taught recursion to thousands of students over the past 15 years. I'm ready to help you. Let's freakin' do this already :)

Minimum price will increase as I write more stuff -- grab now!

I appreciate any donations, and they will encourage me to continue this work and/or feed my saltines addiction, but I cannot promise a timeline or amount of content. I'll do my best.
