OK, I’ve worked through Your First Program and gotten exposure to a few concepts (and had fun!). It would be nice if there were a series of such hands on tutorials leading me through further steps in my programming education and factor education. I don’t suppose that is the case though. I will continue as best I can, stumbling and experimenting, and I”ll make progress, but is there anything available anywhere that provides a more structured path? Just an example to show that despite the First Program tutorial I am still fundamentally ignorant: After playing with my newly built ‘palindrome?’ program, I began getting call stack overflow errors. Ok, but I am flat-footed at this point. What’s the call stack? What an overflow? Is my code causing the overflow? How, when it was just working a moment since and suddenly produced overflow errors? I’m sure the answer is simple and obvious to someone with just a little more experience, but what it shows me is that I’m really stumbling in the dark from this point. There’s obviously so much more of a very fundamental nature that I need to grasp before I even think about more intermediate concepts, let alone advanced. Yet I could not even find an explanation of the stack overflow error and how to fix what caused it. I’ll mess around and search around and figure it out eventually, but there must be a more systematic way. How do I proceed from here in learning factor? And programming? Andy
