In Programming By Stealth 152A Bart and I decided to hold off on the middle of the lesson he’d written up. That middle bit where he said to “put a pin in it” was about the use of xargs. I’m really glad we did skip it in the last installment. It’s a pretty useful concept […]

Introducing the Programming By Stealth Student Organization in GitHub
Programming By Stealth Tutorials When Bart and I started the Programming by Stealth podcast, we were doing something no one had ever done before (at least to our knowledge.) Who would think that an audio podcast was a good way to learn to program? Because we were breaking new ground, we had no one to […]

In this week’s episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart walks us through how to create, add to, and extract from arrays using Bash. It’s a very light episode, which I manage to drag out longer by making him slow down and dig into the syntax used for arrays. It’s not just me being dense (this […]

As Bart continues our education in shell scripting, he explains the simplicity of looping. He explains the four types of loops: while, until, for, and select, along with the simple syntax of do/done within a loop. He walks us through a lot of examples that illustrate how each one of these loops work. He ends […]

Bart continues his miniseries on shell scripting by teaching us conditionals in the shell. In order to explain why conditionals are a bit odd in shell scripting, Bart first walks us through how it was originally done and then shows us the evolution to a much better method. It’s still weird, and many things are […]

We learned how to collect terminal commands into a reusable shell script, but we didn’t learn how to accept any kind of input. In this installment, we learn […]

In this week’s installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart officially kicks off the XKPasswdJS project. This is what we’ve all been waiting for! As I said to Bart at the end of our recording, we’re no longer fixing to make a plan, we have a plan. The shownotes for this episode point to the README […]

In the last installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart taught us all about UML class diagrams for documenting the structure of our code. In this installment, Bart teaches us how to use the ASCII diagramming tool Mermaid to make our class diagrams. The advantage of Mermaid over a graphical tool to make our diagrams is […]

Bart and I are back from summer vacation to kick back into gear on Programming By Stealth. As you may remember, we’ve been learning all of the tools we’ll need to rewrite, test, and document Bart’s password generation library xkpasswd from perl to JavaScript. In order to start the rewrite, we need to understand the […]
