@SleepyFox - I'm with you in not liking JavaScript. I'm reminded of my first experiences programming C - 30+ yrs ago. The people working around were creating an undisciplined mess. JS is so bad that I've started a note in my notetaking tool so I can write about all of my grumbles. It's less about passing exams - she got a 97 in the course and I only provided coaching help in two places (assembly language and the final assignment). It's about fanning a passion, growing her skill and helping her appreciate good code.
@Andrew Good reminder of the pragprog crowd, the books don't seem to come through in your email. FWIW I just looked there and they're seriously advanced for ?a relative beginner. (We only just learned to use async await as syntactic sugar last week).
@Matteo thanks for reminding me of Greg, he's a fellow Canadian therefore I'm required to love anything he does on principle.
The ScrumTrainers Mailing list (my dark side) suggested:?The Art of Readable Code: Simple and Practical Techniques for Writing Better Code - which turns out to be a damn good book.
Thanks to all
Mark
