What Hacker News says?
Manning let me conduct an interview with Brian a few years ago for my book with them. Here is the transcript: https://freecontent.manning.com/interview-with-brian-goetz/ He was very generous with his time and there are some good insights there for aspiring developers, as well as some info about the evolution of Java which may be relevant to the more data-oriented features that have been added in recent times.

HN discussionWe cover constraint satisfaction problems in Chapter 3 of the Classic Computer Science Problems series [0] including a very simple backtracking solver and several examples. Most of the chapter from the Python book is available for free, but it's also covered in the Java and Swift books. [1] I created a short introductory video to the code as well. [2] Backtracking solvers for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs)…

HN discussionAs someone just learning programming, I found the first few chapters to be super helpful, and ridiculously easy to understand. Honestly, if you want a pretty funny, and really simple book on algorithms, I could not recommend this enough. Here is a free article on Dijkstra's Algorithm, written by the author, for those who want to get a taste of what the book is like.: http://freecontent.manning.com/wp-content/uploads…
