What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Al sweigart's recursive book of recursion demystifies the recursion algorithm in simple, easy terms that even a beginner will understand.
Highlights
Quality
I had fun playing with the sliding-tile solver.
He starts with the full result, then walks through building it piece by piece.
Before reading this book, i was imitated with the recursion algorithm, and avoided using it.
I only followed along with the python examples, but i think that adding a javascript option is a very smart choice.
