I'm looking forward to working my way through "How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer" by @JEG2 ... a lot of these types of questions (trees and graphs and all that) I can comfortably do in OO languages, but struggle in FP languages when immutability comes into play.

@jeg2 sent me this like to a review of his book (with @redrapids) "Designing Elixir Systems with OTP." youtube.com/watch?v=s407zy… I'm posting it because it's a great example of how to review a book: thoughtful, with good and bad points.

In the final installment of How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer we carefully copy a few algorithms into your programming spell book. Searches, sorts, and fills — alone or in tandem — present new ways to animate code. voyagesincode.com/products/borro…

Drawing pictures is fun. Getting the computer to draw them for you is even better! The fourth chapter of How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer translates numbers into charts to solve problems visually. voyagesincode.com/products/chart…
