Idiots can learn it in 21 days, even if they are dummies. This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. I'm of the belief that all you need to know about functional programming (or programming in general) and programming languages can be learned from HTDP. How to Design Programs HtDP/2e. It is always useful to know people . Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. An Introduction to Programming and Computing The MIT Press. How to Design Programs (in Scheme): http://www.htdp.org/2003-09-26/. Everything from the basics of . I didn't really learn to understand abstract-as-a-verb until I got it from the computer programming folks, via the How to Design Programs book (free at http://htdp.org if you're interested). Bill Howe and I taught a new intro programming class this summer, aimed at enabling students to write programs that process real-world data. Leads To: MA228 Numerical Analysis and modules given by the Computer Science Department that are based upon the Java language, including CS223 Introduction to Software Engineering, CS236 Data Structures and Algorithms, and CS237 Concurrent Content: Aspects of software specification, design, implementation and testing will be introduced in the context of the Java language. Later on he lent me his copy of Bird's Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell, which helped move things along quite a lot. Give a nod to this trend in their book How to Design Programs, when they say "Bad programming is easy. In one sense, our class was like any other introduction to computer programming: we taught students the syntax and semantics of a programming language, and more importantly taught computational thinking, such as how to Test design, coverage, & adequacy; Debugging strategies: divide & conquer, the scientific method. I didn't know it at the time, but I was solving puzzles and making cool geometric patterns because my teachers wanted me to learn how to think about computers and logic.
