Synopsis

Confessions of a Coding Monkey: Learning the Subtle Art of Programming is for the novice programmer. This book introduces the elements of programming using C as an illustrative language. It is a tutorial guide to the art of programming using C as the instruction language, but any language could be used because the basic constructs of programming do not change.

This text takes a more simplistic approach that shows the syntax, followed by examples used to explain the concepts. All of the examples are focused on a central notion of real-world applications. The chapters discussing concepts are offset by case studies devoted to solving specific problems.

What sets this apart from other texts? A good portion of time is spent looking at topics like programming style and debugging from the point of view of a CSI student. The programs are usually all dissected, in that students look at each element of the program and sometimes explore alternatives. Programming is a skill that once learned, can be used to create innovative solutions to problems. The case studies throughout the text are drawn from potential real-world applications.
