Radek Vystavel started programming at a young age and has been doing it ever since, as well as sharing it with others. Having worked as both a programming teacher in college and privately, 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. Throughout the years he has gained a unique insight into what resonates when teaching beginners.
