#SORT NUMERIC FIELDS AQUAMACS MAC OS X#
In Mac OS X (which I happen to use), you'll need to run from a X11 terminal window, which needs to be pre-installed. There is a UCB Scheme, called STk, which has versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The video is only streaming (Real Media), but the audio can be downloaded as a (MP3) podcast through iTunes. If anyone has suggestions, feel free to put it in a comment.Īt UC Berkeley there is an alternative to the MIT course "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". I realize that these might not be the best links for newbies (especially the Windows link).

It isn't a full introductory course, but rather concentrating on the parts of C you'll need to better understand Java or C++.

#SORT NUMERIC FIELDS AQUAMACS ARCHIVE#
On there is an excellent C foundation course in Shockwave Flash format that you can download from here as a ZIP archive for off-the-Net viewing. Nothing wrong with the latter, but I don't aspire to become a script kiddie, or even a code monkey.

I will be concentrating on the SICP book for now, but it is good to know that there are more excellent books to learn how to write programs using your human intelligence and imagination, instead of copying and pasting what others have done before you. One could see this as a successor of "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman, which used functional programming as a programming paradigm, and Scheme as the programming language of choice.īoth have their values as instructional books, because they learn you to see computer programming in new ways you never imagined existed before. It uses declarative programming and distributive computing as a programming paradigm, and its programming language of choice is Mozart-Oz. I found another good resource for learning how to write computer programs, called "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming", by Peter Van Roy and Seif Haridi. So how to spot good coding practices? Read The Joel Test: 12 Steps to Better Code and learn. Not necessarily because the team members are bad coders, but because the team's organization, well um, sucks. There are a lot of bad coding teams out there. Also, people tend to own a part of a project, do poor documentation, then run away from projects and leave the team with undocumented, buggy code, which has to be fixed by other people.

#SORT NUMERIC FIELDS AQUAMACS SOFTWARE#
Unfortunately, the coding community has the reputation of writing bad, bug-ridden code, that needs constant updating and lots of support to and feedback from the end-users (which explains why good customer support is such a large chuck in the total costs of software development). Interactions between programmers are perhaps more important than the code they write. Most noteworthy programs are written as team efforts, and if you want to become a good programmer, you need to be able to work in a team, sometimes as an experienced leader and sometimes as a novice to the software project (in order to give orders, you have to be able to follow orders as well).Ī good programmer has good interpersonal skills and can work in teams. I suggest you read Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years, by Peter Norvig. Seems to be a silly question, because you'd think that programming is about producing code, but it's not. Sometimes it is good to take some distance from what you're doing, so you can set your priorities for the near future.
