book
We used pictures, because your brain is tuned for visuals, not text. As far as your brain’s 
concerned, a picture really is worth 1,024 words. And when text and pictures work together, we 
embedded the text in the pictures because your brain works more effectively when the text is 
within the thing the text refers to, as opposed to in a caption or buried in the text somewhere.
We used redundancy, saying the same thing in different ways and with different media types, 
and multiple senses, to increase the chance that the content gets coded into more than one area of
your brain. 
We used concepts and pictures in unexpected ways because your brain is tuned for novelty, 
and we used pictures and ideas with at least some emotional content, because your brain is 
tuned to pay attention to the biochemistry of emotions. That which causes you to feel something 
is more likely to be remembered, even if that feeling is nothing more than a little humor, 
surprise
, or interest.
We used a personalized, conversational style, because your brain is tuned to pay more 
attention when it believes you’re in a conversation than if it thinks you’re passively listening to a 
presentation. Your brain does this even when you’re reading.
We included more than 100 activities, because your brain is tuned to learn and remember 
more when you do things than when you read about things. And we made the exercises 
challenging-yet-doable, because that’s what most people prefer.
We used multiple learning styles, because you might prefer step-by-step procedures, while 
someone else wants to understand the big picture first, while someone else just wants to see a 
code example. But regardless of your own learning preference, everyone benefits from seeing the 
same content represented in multiple ways.
We include content for both sides of your brain, because the more of your brain you 
engage, the more likely you are to learn and remember, and the longer you can stay focused. 
Since working one side of the brain often means giving the other side a chance to rest, you can 
be more productive at learning for a longer period of time. 
And we included stories and exercises that present more than one point of view, because 
your brain is tuned to learn more deeply when it’s forced to make evaluations and judgments. 
We included challenges, with exercises, and by asking questions that don’t always have 
a straight answer, because your brain is tuned to learn and remember when it has to work at 
something. Think about it—you can’t get your body in shape just by watching people at the gym. 
But we did our best to make sure that when you’re working hard, it’s on the right things. That
