When you write software, you need to be at the top of your game. Great
programmers practice to keep their skills sharp. Get sharp and stay
sharp with more than fifty practice exercises rooted in real-world
scenarios. If you're a new programmer, these challenges will help you
learn what you need to break into the field, and if you're a seasoned
pro, you can use these exercises to learn that hot new language for
your next gig.
One of the best ways to learn a programming language is to use it to
solve problems. That's what this book is all about. Instead of
questions rooted in theory, this book presents problems you'll
encounter in everyday software development. These problems are
designed for people learning their first programming language, and
they also provide a learning path for experienced developers to learn
a new language quickly.
Start with simple input and output programs. Do some currency
conversion and figure out how many months it takes to pay off a credit
card. Calculate blood alcohol content and determine if it's safe to
drive. Replace words in files and filter records, and use web services
to display the weather, store data, and show how many people are in
space right now. At the end you'll tackle a few larger programs that
will help you bring everything together.
Each problem includes constraints and challenges to push you further,
but it's up to you to come up with the solutions. And next year, when
you want to learn a new programming language or style of programming
(perhaps OOP vs. functional), you can work through this book again,
using new approaches to solve familiar problems.
WHAT YOU NEED:
You need access to a computer, a programming language reference, and
the programming language you want to use.
