Hello,
I used to own a book that explained an approach to coding, but I lost the book, cannot remember the author or title, plus I have only recently returned to coding and I have half forgotten the method the book taught
It was brilliant as it used a system of non-language specific psuedo code in order to structure the solution to coding problems before actually coding in the language of choice
Before moving on to JavaScript, I used to code Lingo/Director projects.
Before finding this book, I used to struggle when attempting intermediate+ problems as I found it difficult to organise a clear approach before coding, so I just used to dive in there (which is bad).
After finding the book, I found it quite easy to create a psudo code solution to most coding problems then, using this structured psuedo code as a guide, it was quite simple to code the structured psuedo code solution in the chosen language
I have tried Amazon etc and although they have some books on structured programming, they are not the book I had and I get the sense that what they mean by structured programming is different to what the book I had actually taught
I was hoping that someone on this forum might have used the same book, or knows what I mean and knows of a book or website that explains structured programming techniques
It would be a great help to me if I could find this information again and I think it would be of great benefit to others on here - especially beginner javascripters like myself
Thank you
