How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer is not a traditional book. Without manually building a compiler, any programmer can watch the book's code run, make tweaks, and observe the results. The first chapter introduces this interactive environment. voyagesincode.com/products/liveb…

How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer devotes an entire chapter to parsing. Every programmer needs to parse inputs. Learn four different techniques for cracking open even the hardest content. voyagesincode.com/products/the-w…

You've parsed the data, now what? Good data models make work fast and easy, while bad models give programmers gray hair. The third chapter of How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer will help you tell the difference. Free link: voyagesincode.com/products/data-…

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…

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…

@jeg2 sent me this like to a review of his book (with Bruce Tate: grox.io Founder) "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.

I'm looking forward to working my way through "How to Train Your Scrappy Programmer" by James Edward Gray II ... 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.

My latest blog post combines two things that I love: SQLite and writing parsers in Elixir. It really shows off how much mileage you can get out of simple techniques. I hope you enjoy it! programmersstone.blog/posts/scrappy-…
