[ALA] Initiation to Code

From A List Apart: The Full FeedInitiation to Code:


Initiation to Code
When you imagine a programming mentor, certain archetypes might flash into your mind. Maybe you see the wise monk who’s meditated on design patterns for decades.

They have enticing names like In Search of the Giant Squid, and tease you with shots of murky underwater shapes and excited scientists pointing far out to sea. You settle down to watch, eyes narrowed with suspicion, thinking, I better see some squid or I’m writing an angry letter to the network.

Sure enough, 90 minutes of interviews with bored-looking fishermen later, the presenter is forced to conclude, ?No… no, we didn’t find any big squids. But maybe one day [majestic orchestral flourish]. Great. You wanted Finding Nemo and got Not Finding Nemo instead.
