App kid : how a child of immigrants grabbed a piece of the American dream

Summary: As his parents watched their restaurant business collapse in the wake of the Great Recession, Sayman was googling "how to code." Within a year he launched an iPhone app that kept his family afloat-- and in America. This is the story of a young Latino, not yet old enough to drink, who excelled in the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley. Here he shares the highs and lows of his journey, an essential and affirming read for anyone marching to the beat of their own drum. -- adapted from jacket
