The One About Teaching Yourself Programming
In this episode, we teach you how to be a programmer in 24 hours!
...Psych. We cover "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years" by Peter Norvig, an article calling out "fast learning" marketing and paving a real-world path to programming excellence. Joe and Evan walk through a bunch of things you can do to learn / excel in programming. Joe gets a little mad at computer science degrees. Evan attempts to sound smart by talking about how the brain works (based solely on google knowledge).
Books we mention:
"Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell
"The Little Schemer" by Daniel Friedman
"Code" by Charles Petzold
