Austin Stroud: Learning to Code Later, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Addressing mindset, motivation, and myths, this book meets readers where they are to build a confidence-first approach before the first line of code.

Would your job be easier if you could automate tedious tasks, clean up messy data, or understand how digital systems really work? Learning to Code Later shows information professionals how to use simple, approachable programming techniques to do just that-without needing a computer science background.

Drawing from original research on technology instruction in MLIS programs and stories from late-start learners across libraries, this guide centers confidence, demystifies core concepts, and connects coding to real-world library tasks. Whether you are batch-renaming files, cleaning metadata, or dreaming bigger, you'll find encouragement and practical tools to start where you are-and grow where you want to be.
