Programming from the ground up (0)

The English version of the book is open source, I have read some, but the English level is not supported, and later translated the book, but the sense of translation is not too straightforward, some places make it difficult to understand the author's ideas, so I intend to encounter difficult to understand the place on their own translation of the original, this will be better understand a little.

CHA1 Introduction

I love programming. My goal is not only to make the program run, I love to let the program have a certain style. The program is much like poetry. A program is a kind of information carrier, not only to the computer, more to those who want to modify and use your program to convey information. With the program, you can create your own world using your own rules. Through your understanding of the problem and the solution, form some concepts to create your own world. Highly skilled programmers use simple and clear programs to create the world, just like poetry or prose.

Ps:

This paragraph tells the "procedure" the external, the essence, the intrinsic, external is "the procedure to be like the poem", The Essence is "the information carrier", Inside is "creates the world within the procedure".

External is the style of the program. About the style of the program, a lot of programming books have talked about, to each programmer to form their own program style . The program is like poetry, which is the author's style. My program also has a certain style, but also not reach the "poem" This realm, hope that through the study of this book, can draw a little poetic it.

Program essence is a kind of information carrier, it expresses certain information, the target is computer and other people.

The construction of the world within the program, I do not quite understand. The creation of a world should be a world of ideas, or a platonic world of thought.

one of the greatest programmers, Donald Knuth, describes the procedure: The program is not just about telling computers how to do things, but more about telling people how they are directing computers. The difference between the two is that the program is more read by people than a computer. When you move to another project, your program will be modified and updated by others. Therefore, the programming is not only communicates with the computer, more is communicates with the Yimeimei. A programmer should be a problem-solving person, a poet, a mentor. Your goal is to solve the problem at hand, use a coordinated, tasteful approach, and teach your solution to future people. I hope that this book will teach you some poetic and magical things that will make the calculations more interesting.

Ps:

Programmers should be problem-solving, poets, and mentors. These three identities correspond to the intrinsic, extrinsic, and intrinsic nature of the program, respectively. Internal is to solve the problem, external is the procedural style, the essence is the information carrier.

These two paragraphs are the author's understanding of the "procedure". Reading these two paragraphs deepened the understanding of the "procedure".
