About the author

Radek Vystavel started programming at a young age and has been doing it ever since, as well as sharing it with others. Greatly inspired by Lev Landau and Richard Feynman, Radek has been influenced by their desire to always search for what is the most fundamental in any given situation, and by their courage to be different. Having worked as both a programming teacher in college and privately, and as a programmer, Radek started writing books on programming because many of his students had no previous knowledge of programming and he had difficulty finding a suitable textbook for them. During the years he has gained a unique insight into what is important when teaching beginners.
