The Philosophical Programmer
Author: Daniel Kohanski
language: en
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Release Date: 2014-08-19
In one of the most unorthodox yet necessary programming books ever to appear, Daniel Kohanski, a seasoned programmer and systems consultant, delves into the foundational concepts and basic mechanics of computers and computer programming. Rather than writing yet another book that teaches readers how to write code, Kohanski penetrates more deeply into the nature of programming istelf. By exploring what programming is all about, The Philosophical Programmer: Reflections on the Moth in the Machine offers an introduction for the computer neophyte as well as an opportunity for experienced programmers to understand better the fundamental nature of their craft.
A Philosophy of Software Design
"This book addresses the topic of software design: how to decompose complex software systems into modules (such as classes and methods) that can be implemented relatively independently. The book first introduces the fundamental problem in software design, which is managing complexity. It then discusses philosophical issues about how to approach the software design process and it presents a collection of design principles to apply during software design. The book also introduces a set of red flags that identify design problems. You can apply the ideas in this book to minimize the complexity of large software systems, so that you can write software more quickly and cheaply."--Amazon.
Object Thinking
Object Thinking blends historical perspective, experience, and visionary insight - exploring how developers can work less like the computers they program and more like problem solvers.
