Think Like a Programmer

Book Description

The real challenge of isn’t learning a language’s syntax—it’s learning to creatively solve problems so you can build something great. In this one-of-a-kind text, author V. Anton Spraul breaks down the ways that programmers solve problems and teaches you what other introductory books often ignore: Think Like a Programmer. Each chapter tackles a single concept, like classes, pointers, and recursion, and open-ended exercises throughout challenge you to apply your knowledge. You’ll also learn :

  • Split problems into discrete components to make them easier to solve
  • Make the most of code reuse with functions, classes, and libraries
  • Pick the perfect data structure for a particular job
  • Master more advanced programming tools like recursion and dynamic memory
  • Organize your thoughts and develop strategies to tackle particular types of problems

Although the book’s examples are written in ++, the creative problem-solving concepts they illustrate go beyond any particular language; in fact, they often reach outside the realm of computer science. As the most skillful programmers know, writing great code is a creative art—and the first step in creating your masterpiece is learning to Think Like a Programmer.
