This thread is for those that aren't interested in taking shortcuts in learning how to program and want to eventually be able to solve interesting and potentially difficult problems down their career. SICP STUDY GROUP information at bottom of post disc ordDOTgg GMqFeHRfGk Guides: See above, can't post I guess The first link recommends SICP as an entry, but most /g/entoomen don't know calculus (go figure). In that case, I'd recommend How to Design Programs. Before you complain, read: See above Free books: See above Not sure if programming is for you? Try: See above Word of warning though, that book has a new edition that just came out. You can wait until someone is kind enough to upload it, or just buy it now SICP STUDY GROUP INFORMATION See everyone next week for thread #1.1.2, where we run through SICP chapters 1 and 2 as a board while everyone else talking about grokking algorithms and debating Stewart vs Apostol vs Spivak SICP start day: 11 January SICP end day: 8 February strawp ollDOTme/42389666 These threads will be about more than just SICP of course, and we may end up doing two separate books for two separate groups, depending on how the poll ends up. Remember, you don't need to be a computer scientist to be a good programmer, but it sure does help Note: Testing tripcode, will change it next post
