Crafting Interpreters Robert Nystrom · 2021 · ★ 4.6 · 752p · ≈ 25h · Moderate Despite using them every day, most software engineers know little about how programming languages are designed and implemented. For many, their only experience with that corner of computer science was a terrifying "compilers" class that they suffered through in undergrad and tried to blot from their memory as soon as they had scribbled their last NFA to DFA conversion on the final exam.That… Shares: Computers, Computer science

Think Like a Programmer V. Anton Spraul · 2012 · ★ 4.3 · 256p · ≈ 8h · Moderate "The real challenge of programming 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: how to Think Like a Programmer. Each chapter tackles a single programming concept, like… Shares: Computer programming, Computers
