Live Webinar October 1st, 2013 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C Free
Presented by : O’Reilly® Webcasts

The real challenge of programming isn’t learning a language’s syntax—it’s learning to creatively solve problems so you can build something great. In this one-of-a-kind webcast, author V. Anton Spraul breaks down some of the ways that programmers solve problems and teaches you how to Think Like a Programmer.

In this webcast we answer the questions:

• What is “problem solving” for programmers, and why is it so important?
• Can it be learned, or do some people just “get it”?
• How can someone develop his or her problem-solving ability?
• What are some of the basic techniques of problem-solving for programmers?

Presenter: V. Anton Spraul (LinkedIn profile) has over fifteen years of experience teaching introductory programming and other topics in computer science. His latest book, Think Like a Programmer, is a distillation of the techniques he has honed over many one-on-one sessions with struggling programmers. He is also the author of Computer Science Made Simple.
