The Inner Chapters, Volume 1


Read by Thomas Gideon

(4.5 stars; 1 reviews)

The Inner Chapters journal my own quest to improve in the craft of programming. Each chapter reflects on a specific practice or principle through the lens of my own experiences both as a professional and an enthusiast. The name refers to the Chinese classic of philosophy, the Chuang Tzu. Divided into two sections, the Inner Chapters make up the first part attributed to the philosopher Chuang Tzu himself. The commentaries on the first section, written by his students and others, are known as the Outer Chapters. I hope you will contribute to my Outer Chapters by sharing your own thoughts and experiences on growing as a programmer.

This was slightly disappointing, I was hoping for more about ...

My intent was never to just teach coding as there are tons of resources for any given programming language. I haven't heard as much discussion about the non-coding activities that I think are still very ...
