This is a good one

I gave up on the project itself after the assembler. Feeling like a real brainlet over it.
Only made it through the first 3 chapters, and only because I skipped the homework. Again, brainletty.

With that attitude. No one is born with knowledge of how computer works. You have to work through things even if it takes time.

Yeah it be like that. And I wouldn't call it an attitude problem if I get my ass beat but keep reading the books. Just finished pic related which was surprisingly comfy.

Computer science textbooks tend to age well because of the perennial foundations, but decades-old software engineering books are like a minefield of boomer bullshit.

if i've already taken university level intoductory programming classes and don't really want to learn LISP, is SICP worth getting? or is it just the basics, but for people who went to MIT?

Attached: cmonnow.jpg (907x718, 53K)

this one seemed pretty respected from what I've seen online. Plus I will say I do probably need it. I've been programming for a while just not professionally so I've pick up some of the bad habits hes talks about.

It is a nice read but that is an opinion.

It's meme status isn't unearned. It's only "introductory" with world-class MIT professors guiding you through it. You can hack your way through the LISP syntax if you're pretty ace at JavaScript but you will still skip the homework.

It is the bible.

I would recommend the book as a seasoned software engineer and actively apply this when you write your own code and also when you conduct code review. However, Uncle Bob's video series on Clean Code is appalling and not worth watching.

Lecture videos are all in 240p or some VHS garbage, and the 6.00.1 class that replaced it just implemented its core ideas in Python but still it's a based class if you took it in person at MIT.

Yeah, that's fine. I recommend you read or skim it again every now and then to refresh clean code best practices. However, more than writing clean code, it's important to keep writing code and keep practicing. One thing I learned from taking a computational theory class is that every time you write a computer program, you are actually writing a mathematical proof. That's why it is impossible to automate programming because there is no such (Turing) machine that exists that can automatically write mathematical proofs. That's why programming is difficult, it is both an art and logic.

Humans cannot automatically write proofs either, but they can program just fine. Your argument is nonsensical.

>the ability to make decisions has no place here
the human brain is a pattern recognition machine, if a pattern exists someone is going to notice.

As a name? Idgaf, i never realised how it sounds until some 7 yo undergrad boomer, like yourself, chuckled and i busted his nuts until he explained what was so funny. Turns out it wasn't funny, just dumb, but that's to be expected when you're teaching in burgeristan.
As a technology? It's awesome, but there are many ways to improve it - both the theory and the implementation. We're getting CuTT-Coq soon, perhaps as part of Coq-HoTT, since it's from the same IAS guys behind HoTT.

Daily reminder that this guy absolutely dropped off of computer programming because of a breakdown after the web framework he dedicated so much time of his life became deprecated.

Jans book is based as fuck, but not for teh n00bs. Better off reading King first.

Is it worth reading?

underrated

I'd rather new programmers at least keep the rules printed near them when they're learning C from King's book.

First--withour exception--work through every problem in Sedgewick's DSA in C book--its tough to find, but worth it. Make sure it's the second edition. Then, work through Modern C by Gustedt and Interfaces and Implementations by Hanson. Next, Hennesy and Patterson's comparch book, followed by Tannenbaum's OS book. After that, The Linux Programming interface and the OOP w/ ANSI C book. Learn your toolchains along the way and one day you might be a good C programmer.

t. adjunct professor at a college you've never heard of

I didn't notice any egregious violations of the C99 standard that weren't tagged as such in the text or errata. What'd I miss? Regardless, I agree with you 100% on reinforcing the habit of consulting the standards.

>minefield of boomer bullshit.
spoken like a true neet

>one day you might be a good C programmer
in 2019 good C programmer is like a good Fortran or Simula programmer. cool but useless.

It's not that King is bad, he does a pretty good job a teaching C. It's just that Gustedt has many invaluable tips/rules/suggestions that King's book lacks (because it's aimed at beginners).
I do have a bit of an issue with King's chapter on program design, for example pic related - no mention that it is a bad taste to hide pointers in typedefs.
