Learnable Programming
The Future of Coding
Book •
Bret Victor's 'Learnable Programming' is an influential essay advocating for more intuitive and accessible ways to learn programming.
Victor critiques traditional programming environments, arguing they often hinder the development of effective computational thinking.
He proposes alternative systems that provide immediate visual feedback, allowing learners to see the direct consequences of their code.
The essay emphasizes the importance of interactivity, exploration, and making the underlying computational model visible to the learner.
Victor uses examples to illustrate how programming environments can be designed to enable deeper understanding and foster creativity.
'Learnable Programming' has inspired numerous educators and developers to rethink how programming is taught and learned.
It calls for a shift from rote memorization to a more hands-on, exploratory approach.
