To get the most out of this book

You should have some programming experience and understand concepts such as variables, and functions. If you've never seen a line of JavaScript or C/C++ code, you may want to do some preliminary research before working through the examples in this book. I've chosen to use JavaScript ES6/7 features such as destructuring and arrow functions, so if you haven't worked with JavaScript in the last 3 - 4 years, the syntax may look slightly different.
