When Code Cries: Listening to Code

What is the best way to learn a new programming language or improve coding skills with the language you already use? Cory Foy has developed a new method for learning—and teaching—new programming languages and improving programmer expertise on their current languages. His approach focuses on preparing the learner to listen to what the code is saying and, thereby, changing how we approach the language. To learn a natural language, we would not start by studying prepositions, nouns, and verbs.
