I really would like to understand why we don't have a session before "Learn a Language" with a basic instruction to study "Programming Logic".

My opinion about that is that learn "Programming Logic" will help all developers in all languages during their entire career, reducing a lot of pain to understand the differences between each language.

I never looked with good eyes this rejection for basic languages like Pascal, Pascal still can teach a lot of the bases of programming. Structured languages (C for example) are good teachers for beginners.

Take a look:

It's very sad don't have a section to suggest learning about "Programming Logic" before our "Learn a Language" section.

It is good to say that "Programing Logic" it isn't about "learn a language", so, I mentioned Pascal and C only to share examples, but, we can learn PL with the most of languages.

Hi, @FabianoLothor. I suppose the "Programming Logic" that you mentioned is already included in "Data Structure & Algorithms", which you can find in "Introduction" right in the top of roadmap (before all paths). I agree that it would be more interesting if there was a "mini-guide" showing some topics of Algorithms (variables, arrays...) or an introductory language, but it's possible to find them easily when you just type the word Algorithms on the internet...

Sorry, I am missing something.

Where is this?

Ok, I'm not blinded anymore :smile:

I was looking at the website https://roadmap.sh/backend

The introduction isn't there.

We should really consider adding the Introduction section at the beginning of the website as well. Or we can create a separate section called "Introduction".

Agree. And #766 also advised this.
