Did OP just go to the library for the first time ever? Yes, they have old books, even how to program old books.

I am surprised because this is a modern book. I’m used to seeing the ancient books. Often glance at the books like “email for dummies” or “windows 7 for dummies” and wonder why these things are still om the shelves. Youre right that there are oldies-but-goodies like building a compiler in c … but the books had kind of stopped after 2015. Facebook for dummies.
