Think Like a Programmer: Introduction

Показать описание

This first video is an introduction to the book and the idea behind it. Future videos will offer tips on developing your problem-solving ability.

Your comments and suggestions for future videos are welcome.

"Think Like a Programmer" is a book I've written to help programmers with problem solving. If you've found that you are able to read programs and understand programming language syntax but aren't always confident writing programs from scratch, my book may be able to help.

Every youtuber out there suggesting books to master language but no one is actually teaching to think like a programmer... Ur doing a great job keep it up

So it only took me failing my programming class twice before finding this playlist. *Kicks back with popcorn and an open mind.*

I can't believe you're making this available for free. Dude, thank you very, very much.

New programmers? Sir, I've been writing code for over 20 years. I flunked this module at college. I even had the book at the time, but I was preoccupied with partying. I always struggled to take what was in my head and put it into a plan. I'd always jump straight in and write a bunch of tests and work from there. It worked sometimes.

Finally bought your book. Wasn't on iBooks but was able to download it via Kindle on iOS. Great read so far. I'm already panicking less.

I can't believe I haven't heard about your book before. I have been discussing the same kind of issues with learning/teaching how to program with colleagues and other developers in my community, both online and in the real world. I've only gotten through the first chapter but I've already noted a number of important passages that I will be using and quoting in the future.

One comment about the constraints on the Quarrasi Lock problem: since there was no explicitly constraint against moving more than one Kratzz at a time as there was in the fox-goose-corn problem, my solution was to press the first alarm suppressor, slide out all three Kratzz from the first receptacle, then push all three Kratzz to the second receptacle.

An excellent book. Thank you very much. I just finished reading your book and I definitely recommend reading it and trying to solve its exercises. I wish there were more books of this kind that teach how to solve problems. If anyone knows books that talk about the problem solving skill please let me know.

i agree 100% this sounds like me! i know c++ but give me a blank screen and it takes me longer than it should to complete a program cause i do the trial and error method!! i love ur videos.

This is exactly where I'm at... I know my math, I can think abstractly, I know my syntax... But when I look at a programming problem, I don't know where to start.... I can make a few guesses...

Thank for putting this playlist together Paul, it’s really helpful. I’ll get a copy of your book 🙏👍

"if this in any way sounds like you ..." *sounds exactly like me*

Just purchase the book. Thank you for recommending me to buy it from your publisher instead of Amazon. Much better service in my opinion.

Hello Anton, I'm a self taught trying to learn programming, I'm currently learning Python, I know the book is written in C++ but would you say that your book will help me inspite of me not knowing C++? The title kind of tells me that this book has a more general approach. Thanks in advance!

Oddly enough, I feel I'm the exact opposite. I know what I need to do in the sense of algorithms and the like to get what I need done, but I always get compile errors on syntax or I just do not know how to do something in a certain language. That might just be me overestimating what I think I can do logically.
