PineScript Technical Indicator Development is book by Minakshi. I have reviewed the book and found it well written for new coders with no past background of coding. It has many examples and charts for readers.
This book is by Trader and not from computer coder and the book claims that it is for novice coders. The book at the time of writing of this blog was also available for free on kindle. I have not gone through the entire book, however, I liked the way examples have been provided for understanding of technical concept. The parameters inside the functions have been compared with hotel room offering.
The example in the books says that in case you go to hire a room in hotel you expect bed, TV, toilets , etc and we you have some special requirement like to have blue covers, carpets, room-service you ask them from the manager. Similarly, all functions provide a basic offering and like a line will have blue colour with a pre-defined width,etc and if you want to have something special and extra , you have to ask manager. Here, in case of functions the parameters does that job. If you want a line with green colour and thick line you have to give that order to functions within its brackets , separated by commas.
The book however does not cover advance topics like back-testing and strategy. The book also does not include newer topics like arrays. However, if you are new to the coding world and are struggling and looking to start a fresh then this book is for you. This book does not teach un-necessary computer concepts that are not going to be use in pinescript but keep itself focused on concepts that are necessary for understanding of pinescript.
If you are novice, I recommend this book for reading.
