I wanted to try something a bit different this week, and share some essays that influenced my perspective on software engineering/programming. I've always liked hearing different, well thought out perspectives, and incorporating the best parts into how I think. I hope you get something out of these essays as they've been useful tools for me.
One last thing. I'm starting to explore different formats, and topics for Learning Computations. If you have any suggestions please email learningcomputations@gmail.com and I'll take a look! Next week it's back to the regularly scheduled programming.
I hope you enjoy this different issue of Learning Computations!
I've omitted summaries of these resources on purpose. I want any influence to be from the authors and not from me.
I've ordered them roughly from shortest to longest.
Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years - Peter Norvig
Let The Other 95% of Great Programmers In - Paul Graham
Things you should never do part 1 - Joel Spolsky
