The Root of All Code
Education
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Explore programming languages you've never heard of and discover how they can make you a better developer!
Ever wonder what programming looks like outside the mainstream? The Root of All Code introduces you to languages like APL, Forth, Prolog, and others that approach problem-solving in radically different ways. They're the sorts of languages that go ignored in industry but can dramatically improve your thought process and solutions even if you never deploy a line of them in production.
You don't need to master these languages (though you might want to). The goal is to understand the ideas behind them that will sharpen your thinking and improve the code you write every day, in any language.
Features:
- Explore non-mainstream programming languages and the paradigms they embody
- Thoughtful code snippets showing how different languages solve problems
- Currently supports nine programming languages
- Currently available in English and Spanish
Built by a developer, for developers, because the best way to grow is to see how the other half codes.
