physloop··on Ask HN: How difficult is it to get an internship if I have zero experience?

Just sent it!

physloop··on Open Data Structures: an open content textbook

Awesome work! My current data structures textbook is awful, and this book helped clarify a lot of concepts that were originally confusing.

physloop··on Ask HN: Are there any resources to learn how to think about programming?

Ah, I remember solving a few of those a while ago. Unfortunately I'm not very mathematically inclined, and some of the problems there are extremely difficult to figure out.

Just ordered it on Amazon! Thanks!

physloop··on Ask HN: Are there any resources to learn how to think about programming?

I just ordered "How to Solve It" and "SICP". They seem to be exactly what I'm looking for!

The problem with CLRS is that I haven't had a discrete mathematics course yet, so the math involved in the book is way over my head right now.

Thank you for providing all those resources. I'll definitely make sure to check into the remaining books and lectures.

Thanks for the response. What kind of mathematical problems should I be looking for? I've taken two semesters of calculus and a semester of linear algebra, but I don't think it's had much impact on my programming ability.
