In this positively delightful episode, Bart and I celebrate 100 episodes of Programming By Stealth. When we hit 99 installments, Bart declared that for 100, there should be cake! So I got Bart’s darling beloved to deliver him a piece of cake right as we started, and Steve delivered one to me. To say that […]

I’m a Real Developer
When I started to learn to program from Bart Busschots in October of 2015 with Programming By Stealth, I didn’t really have the vision to understand what that would mean. I don’t think I expected really to be able to do the things I can do today. Caleb Fong tipped us off in our PBS […]

In this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart explains one single concept, that of “Has-A”. This is part 1 of 2, where next time we’ll learn “Is-A” which is about inheritance. These both sound like odd terms but they’re part of what makes object oriented programming so powerful. Bart spends 90% of the time going […]

In my engineering curriculum, I took classes in two programming languages. In my freshman year of undergraduate work, I took a class in BASIC and then I took Fortran IV with WAT5 in grad school.
