-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 As you folks well know, I need to up my programming skills or risk falling behind in class
Sensing my discomfiture, mbuf & kushal have been really helpful. Acting upon their advice I feel I need to be doing two things - - Reading and writing code everyday - - learning code in a manner that appeals to me To that end, I’ve thrown myself into the deep end to learn “Literate Programming.” Learning to code by telling folks what it does and how it does it. Writing is something I’ve had a bit of practice with, and if that helps me program faster, so much the better for me! These emails will be a series of updates as I make my way up the programming ladder. If you want to see how I’m doing at a glance, mbuf’s operation blue moon page has the skinny. [1] To start with I’ve watched a couple of videos on literate programming. - - Method inventor Don Knuth gives a concise summary in [2] - - Timothy Daly expounds on it. [3] Slides here [4] and a live example here. [5] - - And back to a slow, yet insightful talk by Knuth [6] (On a personal note, see old, wise folks like Munger and Knuth, giving these talks makes me feel so blessed that I get to see wisdom in action) date started: 2017-08-12 date done: 2017-08-12 time taken: 4 hrs [1]: https://github.com/dgplug/operation-blue-moon/blob/0fa6b06fd114055a4e546a735a89fe6235a751c6/archives/2017/aug-7-2017-aug-22-2017.org [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTkXg2LZIMQ [3]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av0PQDVTP4A [4]: http://daly.axiom-developer.org/TimothyDaly_files/publications/DocConf/LiterateSoftwareTalk.pdf [5]: http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/litprog.html [6]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYHsQarGaQ8 - --- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJZjtNSAAoJELjPdZH1jbsunKkP+wSrVeeXeH3ADP0kjCEagNhT CCW22MC/2hrBu4XeTEL5BakEe+DlaRlBAdjPRy4KFFY9mAZc3N0K7+iKCiPecM26 MJrohqmFj9wJHKrpiyfFyKgGQfLPDkShvQFh0oLRbUJ1RBzqWvDSmXkEt45NoJPL qtQE7QfaLI+Gjgaiv6RUS9Ped5GoQaH+k+hqe0aRXgzmvCKJACO8SK1rB5FhdjAA WtrjmkCKIvS7rUvU6eZKUe9a7TjOeHF1G3k6t9HXKCaiNe71HQsS6OFeUjjw2o+r O9QxDNv+p/Uu5Cvqi3+Uo7XPycGKei12jytIhb09fmxmsjFD5wbqBB8v9MDXsyFd yfORuBV0PJG+1eFy3Se0W1DNljuCP5VmEDInFoyp+KwFFhgYMe//+tLyj8aky2CS jvUKHJHjZPvJU3TI/LYIrm1KZxHfC0pxTTeBKo6TQ22Rryv+wgqE0rqtIdRLZoLV 9bHtBjhBACMFcyBsOgY8y5sGG4w95meleZM2reasZ3fdHXd6N97Qa9sXctuT9kZc MqmqeLx+Zvl3FWiuQUKISMHv1olBNIiv4i6UAsScHhuofIcmvH5z2NRAuiXYu8K/ WkyFhTPNGNzUHjynVdsWUgIUJwyjsqbnt+BaOwJzV+pneysuPjkrkFuijOOlvUjd eHCTaidICy1npn9LUkab =yhv9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dgplug.org/listinfo.cgi/users-dgplug.org
