La Pratica del Codice

"La Pratica del Codice"
Mauro Marinilli
290 Pages, 2005

Simple Ed.
ISBN 8889177330

Abstract:
La Pratica del Codice is a textbook about the humble joy of writing code. For students in Computer Science, it is 'the fruit' of several years of interactions with students at the University of Roma Tre. Students love the many nice anecdotes about Computer Science & Software, but get puzzled by advice like "Structured Programming isn't that good" and other little (Academic) heresies.

This book was fun to write. For more details, visit the related pages (in Italian). Here is also a link to the Editor.
