Discussion on: Moving Past Tutorials: a course on problem solving for programmers

[Daragh Byrne]

Can I suggest:

• problem definition - asking the right questions
• proof of concept solutions
• demonstrating code as a way to verify the problem has been solved
• figuring out if parts of your problem have already been solved (avoiding not-invented-here syndrome)
• generating and evaluating proposed solutions - hypothesis testing
• structuring code in the large - laying out the solution for a non trivial system
• solving a problem from scratch vs working with an existing code base

These are great ideas! thank you!

Looking forward to the series!
