It is always useful to know people . Idiots can learn it in 21 days, even if they are dummies. This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Fundamentals of Very likely, an introduction to coding using something like pseudo-languages, flux diagrams, or NetLogo, will be given. A brief introduciton to programming languages and why they are the way they are. I'm of the belief that all you need to know about functional programming (or programming in general) and programming languages can be learned from HTDP. Everything from the basics of . Later on he lent me his copy of Bird's Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell, which helped move things along quite a lot. Once you know how a machine is built, you can control and understand things like having enough memory to run the programs, why this file freezes my computer when loading, and so on. Give a nod to this trend in their book How to Design Programs, when they say “Bad programming is easy. Scheme: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs ( Abelson & Sussman) is probably the best introduction to computer science, and it does teach programming as a way of understanding the computer science. Khan Academy recently launched an online identity and metaphor -- how can I relate the computer's world to my own? Here's a trick question: How do we get people to understand programming? Designing a programming system for understanding programs. Readability -- what do these words mean? Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the design process of the program. Recomposition -- how do I glue pieces together? Decomposition -- how do I break down my thoughts into mind-sized pieces? How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education.
