6 Things About Programming That Every Computer Programmer Should Know

“Just call it:  A Career’s Experience, Condensed Into Six Key Topics.”  With this whimsical introduction, the author proceeds to give us a high-level summary of the following six topics of concern to the craft of computer programming:  (1) Internal Memory and Data Structures; (2) Objects; (3) SQL Queries and Concepts; (4) Precise Specification, Strategy and Implementation; (5) Front-End/Back-End and Frameworks; and (6) Pragmatic debugging and defect-prevention.  Backed by over 30 years’ professional programming experience, yet written in a lighthearted and somewhat self-effacing style, this book is a “quick read” that’s worth re-reading.
