10 years to program

January 4th, 2007

I quite like this little page by Peter Norvig on how to become a good programmer. One quote I like: “Learn at least a half dozen programming languages. Include one language that supports class abstractions (like Java or C++), one that supports functional abstraction (like Lisp or ML), one that supports syntactic abstraction (like Lisp), one that supports declarative specifications (like Prolog or C++ templates), one that supports coroutines (like Icon or Scheme), and one that supports parallelism (like Sisal).” But he has generally interesting comments.
