I&#8217;m used to writing programs in languages that encourage (or, at least, permit) modularity. For example, let&#8217;s say I am writing a group of programs in C, and all [...]]]></description>

As a novice, my biggest challenge is that cookbooks assume you already know how to cook. They&#8217;ll tell you to do things, like marinating meat, or sautéing an onion, without [...]]]></description>
