About this title

Synopsis

The Oracle of the Programmer is a practical book to find solutions to problems of coding and technical design. It presents a new image of the programmer as an artisan and offers thinking paths a coder can explore when he or she hits a seemingly insurmountable issue.The book was written about 20 years ago to help young programmers with writer’s block. In those days, our colleagues were more or less self-taught and very young.Even if programming education has evolved a lot since then, and there are a lot more tools available to assist coders and support staff, the community still suffers from many of the same issues of the early days. Coding is no longer an exclusive skill for programmers, but it’s a competence picked up by designers, scientists, high school students and their teachers. Many technicians of all kind had to learn to code in order to work with ever more evolved and self-thinking machines. This book aims to offer a helping hand to our growing community and provide inspiration, reason and warmth when there is a lacking thereof.
