Hi!
I am so excited about coding, I must be new. It is not so much that I am new, it is that I have a new purpose for developing a thorough understanding of coding. I am a tech ed teacher and have taught coding within the context of various assignments for years. I am getting a master's in cybersecurity, 3 more classes to go. I have my CISSP. Even so, I see that my understanding is insufficient to the task. I'm only taking one class this fall, (beside teaching and coaching) so I bought texts assigned to computer science courses at VA Tech and am reading those to develop my understanding of the purpose behind the code, it structure and function. I also bought K&R's book on the C Programming Language. Right now I'm reading Computer Systems A Programmer's Perspective by Bryant and Hallaron at Carnegie Mellon, in addition to a few other books. I like it's perspective on otherwise familiar issues, and have stayed up much too late with my reading. I look forward to Programming Language Pragmatics, by Michael Scott.
I have worked with Python in cryptography. It was sink or swim and I made it work by teaching myself some Python online while keeping up with the coursework. Now I am working though Python A Crash Course, and I like the code within the context of a project.
I have a lot of respect for the developers at this site, and am thankful for your contributions here and for your work. I am also reading and working through The Linux Bible by Christopher Negus, and appreciate his contribution.
