Different things workout for different people. I was overwhelmed by so many ways to do things in Python and everybody teaching their own favourite way of doing things. Similarly, all I was learning was the syntax and no problem solving skil

Even beginners can learn to program in a data oriented way from the beginning. Two books that teach this style of programming to beginners are: 1. How to Design Programs - https://htdp.org/ 2. A Data-Centric Introduction

The book utilises a series of Scheme based teaching languages to teach about how to write functions for increasingly complicated data types. The language levels produce meaningful error messages for programmers of that particular level and

Keep us posted about the lectures. I don't find a personal website of you. Then I would have bookmarked it. There are so many awesome lectures from other CMU courses like Andy Pavlo's Database, Keenan Crane's Graphics courses

Btw, Brandon, I hope you archive your version of the course materials somewhere as they are really as good as the notes, someplaces, even better. All previous versions of 15-150 are basically non-existent.

Ah! Thanks for the detailed reply. It is so good to hear from someone who have passionately benefitted from their undergraduate courses and gets to use knowledge from that in real life. Btw with 15-150 notes and slides do you have any book

Since, you are the instructor for 15-150 this semester and have graduated from CMU as per the slides. I would like to know what you think about similar intro course sequences elsewhere. Like BrownU's CS019 course using Pyret. It also t

How to Design Programs by Felleisen et al. A breath of fresh air among all the trash introductory programming courses/books that teach nothing but syntax of a trendy language with little to no transferrable skills.
