A video about problem-solving

[ChrisGreaves]

I enjoyed this you-tube video more once I sped it up to at least 1.5 times normal speed.

I have long tried to distinguish and clarify the difference between "programming" and "programming in VBA" ("programming in FORTRAN", "programming in COBOL" etc)
To my mind I can easily record a macro and then tweak it, but that is not Programming. Programming is a discipline that requires a well-written definition of the problem, ditto a solution, and then the pitfalls of developing an algorithm for the solution, and finally implementing that algorithm in the-language-of-your-manager's-choice.
Alan Turing demonstrated this in his historic paper.

If I were setting up a Programming School today, I would present this video once a month to promote discussion.
Cheers, Chris

You still struggling with these Smilie things then?
