- oxff 4y ago> PLAI seems to be a upper level course I am a big believer in "Google what you don't know"; it was mostly self-contained from what I recall. > What kind of programming/CS background did you have before that I am self-taught, I had like couple of months of JS web-dev under me. > Did PLAI need knowing the language it uses beforehand No. That book and the author tries to teach in language agnostic / programming generalist type of way. His other book is good too, aimed for absolute beginners: https://dcic-world.org/2022-01-25/index.html https://dcic-world.org/2022-01-25/index.html
