The text explores the similarities and differences between programming languages and natural languages, highlighting how both are used to achieve goals but function in distinct ways. It delves into the concept of "comprehensible input," a language learning method that emphasizes exposure to material slightly beyond one's current level, and applies this to programming education. The author discusses the use of storytelling and incremental learning in language education, exemplified by the "natural method" books, and how similar techniques can be applied to learning programming languages like EdgeDB. The narrative follows the development of Easy EdgeDB, a book that uses a story-based, immersive approach to teach the EdgeDB query language, drawing parallels with how natural languages are taught through engaging content. The book uses Bram Stoker's "Dracula" as a backdrop for practical database examples, gradually increasing complexity while maintaining reader engagement through its length and narrative structure. The text concludes by discussing updates to Easy EdgeDB, reflecting on its growth alongside EdgeDB's development, and plans for future enhancements to maintain its educational value.
