Small problems that expose larger assumptions

Software odds & ends videos

This software collection contains useful outliers rather than a single curriculum. The most productive entry is a problem you recognize: time handling that violates intuition, or a spreadsheet that turns out to be a programming environment.

Choose a domain trap or a different programming medium

The time-zone explainer is a compact way into the gap between human conventions and software representations. Hermans offers a different perspective on formulas and functional computation through spreadsheets. Neither selection is a general software-engineering course. Use the first to question a date-related assumption in a small program; use the second to follow how changing an input propagates through a computation.
