| Topic | Are any of these books good for learning to program/code? |

All math majors need to take CS, so do most other Science degrees. at my uni there are specific courses for comp sci majors, and specific other ones for non-CS majors. I don't even know if it should be "taught" exactly. maybe run through the gist of what they are in the intro courses, and then just require them from then on, and relate back to them now and then in courses. for example, things like makefiles, or using the linux server to submit assignments and that kind of thing. they don't really "teach" you those things (I guess they go over it loosely in the labs), they're just a necessary part of the process. they're in the background. should be the same for unit tests, it's just a part of your program. and source control even moreso "in the background". it's just how you write code, you commit it to a repo somewhere. anything but the way it was: if you're lucky you happen to take this one random course and learn about all of this stuff, even though it's all pretty much essential knowledge and stuff you will use instantly and constantly in any real-world scenario. --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
