As most software development teams know, frequent code reviews ensure the containment of poor code quality such as inefficiencies in unit-level design and lack of adherence to coding standards. Anyway, my challenge – to myself – will be to read and post a review of the books in there. From this, arose the idea of teaching Concepts of programming languages first. What made me change my mind and become a professional programmer? As pedagogy, I would consider it the re-application of Constructivist principles to the learning of Programming Languages and teaching of Computer Science in the age of the Internet.
