👋 Welcome to Thinking Like a Programmer
Programming is often taught as if it were a matter of syntax: variables, loops, curly brackets. But writing code is not the hard part — thinking like a programmer is.
This course is for anyone who wants to understand the deeper logic of programming — not just how to use a language, but how to think in code. Whether you're new to programming or have years of experience, this is an invitation to reflect on the ideas and principles that shape good code, clear systems, and elegant solutions.
You won't find syntax tutorials here. Instead, you'll explore questions like:
-
What is abstraction, really?
-
Why is modularity so powerful?
-
How does state make things complicated — and how can we manage it?
-
What makes code readable and not just correct?
-
When should we fail fast — and when should we fail gracefully?
These lessons are designed to be short, sharp, and thought-provoking. Some will challenge your intuition. Others will give names to things you already knew instinctively. All are meant to sharpen your thinking and deepen your understanding of the invisible structures behind the code we write.
No matter what language you use, the core ideas are the same: modeling, clarity, logic, and empathy.
So welcome — let's go beyond syntax and get to the heart of programming.
