Programming & Problem Solving
Owner: Richard Huntrods
Group members: 409
This group is for anyone interested in the general topics of programming and problem solving. The group is 'language neutral', meaning that discussions should center more around general techniques rather than language specific implementation details.
That said, language discussions are welcome - in as much as they relate to the overall emphasis on problem solving. So you can discuss how a specific language behaves (i.e how easy to implement an algorithm) ... but language 'wars' are out. Besides, we all KNOW that C reigns supreme! ;-)
This group is open to everyone - we're all peers here.

IDEA – nonverbal algorithm assembly instructions
By Jon Dron 20 February 2018 @ 1:57pm Comments (1)idea-instructions.com - This is brilliant - how common algorithms work, presented in the form of IKEA-style assembly instructions. No screwdriver needed.Oh, shit, git!
By Jon Dron 18 December 2017 @ 8:40pmhttp://ohshitgit.com/ - One for programmers and others, such as writers and scholars, using Git, which is (arguably, but IMHO) the best distributed and collaborative version control system available right now. This is a brief (nb. very brief) set of common (nb. very...Paul Ford: What is Code?
By Jon Dron 7 September 2015 @ 12:09pmwww.bloomberg.com - A fabulous, sprawling, opinionated and highly informative read, self-referentially incorporating a fair bit of code. If you want to know (a lot) more about the whole business of programming, how it works, what kind of people do it, why they do it,...

This is actually the best way to explain algorithms. I was thinking about it this week. I was wondering why don’t text books include as much models and figures or these kind of drawings to explain a problem solving method. I do find images helpful to understand a new concept, maybe because I learn this way better than reading boring paragraphs.
