    A meia lua whooshed in the air. The strike was evaded and followed with an aú. Two young men were playing capoeira in the middle of the roda. Bimba wanted to play too. Although it is debated when and where capoeira—an art form that blends martial arts, dance, acrobatics, music, and spirituality—originated exactly, one thing is certain: in the early 20th century, Brazil was the only country in the world where capoeira was played, and it was mainly practiced by people of African descent. In 1890, two years after Brazil officially abolished slavery, the game was outlawed. Wealthy, lighter-skinned society feared and looked down on capoeira, seeing it as a game for malandros—what people in power called the poor Black communities they disdained. But in the early 1920s in the city of Salvador, a man called Bimba would advocate for capoeira, and those who practiced it, to be treated with dignity and the respect it deserved. Inspired by pre-Columbian codices, Duncan Tonatiuh tells the story of arguably the greatest capoeirista of all time, who fought to turn a misunderstood, persecuted Afro-Brazilian activity into a celebrated art practiced by millions around the world.

    You've probably read the phrase "anyone can learn how to code" many times before you landed this book. 
    While setting goals high is great, realistically speaking, coding isn't the most beginner-friendly skill to learn. 
    In fact, the resources available online usually make learning how to code sound too easy, but you'll soon find out that the book, tutorial or any other guide assumes you already know the basics and have the semblance of coding skills. By the time you figure this out, you're midway through a book you don't understand and just wasted your precious time. 
    This book was written specifically to: 
    Give beginners a road map to follow, after choosing the type of project they want to do 
    Make the content as straightforward as possible for kids, teens and non-tech adults to understand 
    How to Get the Most out of this Book 
    For starters, don't skip between chapters. You might get your light-bulb moment as you read through the first chapter, but make sure you understand all your options before deciding on one particular coding project.
