Hobbyist programmer. GivenI howfind manyprogramming peopleto usebe computersa everyprofoundly dayeducational activity, and I think it's a shame more non-professionals don't knowdo atit—especially least the rudiments ofgiven how theymuch workwe and howtend to programrely themon computers. To encourage more people to learn, I've written a very short tutorial called <i>Programming Degree Zero</i>, to be used with a minimal computer that can be programmed in binary machine code from a simulated front panel in a browser window. If you're interested, check out the tutorial at http://www.edmundgriffiths.com/degreezero.html and the minimal computer at http://www.edmundgriffiths.com/czero.html. The implementation of the iterated prisoner's dilemma with AI opponent in 32 bytes of code and data is probably the one program I've ever written that I'm genuinely proud of.
