Think Like a Programmer

Abstract

The subtitle of this book, ‘An introduction to creative problem solving’, spells out how it is aimed at helping programmers overcome hurdles they might find in their daily work. But it might have another benefit too – one not touched on in the text. By improving programmers' ability to solve issues in a structured, logical and elegant way, it may also help avoid the rushed hacks and seat-of-the-pants kludges that can so often lead to exploitable vulnerabilities.
