The Programmer's Brain (Manning)

Your brain responds in a predictable way when it encounters new or difficult tasks. The Programmer’s Brain teaches you concrete techniques rooted in cognitive science that will improve the way you learn and think about code.

Your brain responds in a predictable way when it encounters new or difficult tasks. The Programmer’s Brain teaches you concrete techniques rooted in cognitive science that will improve the way you learn and think about code.

In it, you’ll master practical ways to apply these cognitive principles to your daily programming life. You’ll improve your code comprehension by turning confusion into a learning tool, pick up awesome techniques for reading code and quickly memorizing syntax, and learn how to design a codebase in such a way that it is easy for others to read and understand. This practical guide includes tips for creating your own flashcards and study resources that can be applied to any new language you want to master. It will help you work smarter, not harder.
