You'll have plenty of combat practice with analogies, examples, and code tutorials you can build, break and fix again. Working with your hands and your head you'll craft code that pleases the eye and knocks a zombie into last Tuesday.
And later you'll bring those skills together in a final project that cements those skills into zombie smashing muscle memory. Why Zombies?
Are zombies just a gimmick? Why would this be any better than a strait-laced book that sticks to the facts? Strait-laced books are often straight boring. And if you have insomnia problems go buy that book. The author, John, has read the boring books and knows that staying awake and engaged are also important for learning. But this book uses zombie references and analogies not just to make you smile, but to help the material stick. If a tough technical concept is related in silly terms you understand, like a zombie trying to buy gum at a supermarket, it's much more likely to stay in that brain those zombies are intent on eating.
