Problem Solving with Abstraction | part 1/3

Abstraction is a very powerful tool for problem solving, in real life as well as in programming. In this video (and the two parts following) I'll demonstrate how you can use abstractions to implement a new and unknown feature in an existing program, as well as solving the problems that occur along the way. It is a direct follow-up to my previous video, "Abstraction - in Art and Programming", and I'll re-reference a lot of the topics introduced in that one, in particular Hayakawa's Ladder of Abstraction and Bessie the Cow, so make you have seen that video first:    • Abstraction - in Art and Programming   00:00 - Intro 02:26 - Climbing up and down the abstraction ladder 05:52 - Problem solving in programming 09:34 - Understanding the problem 13:02 - Writing some abstract code 16:03 - Going above the surface 20:18 - Solving problems by copying abstractions 29:01 - Bad and good news 30:21 - Outro part 2 is available at:    • Problem Solving with Abstraction | part 2/3   part 3 is available at:    • Problem Solving with Abstraction | part 3/3   Subtitles are available in English and Danish (might help with understanding my pronunciation of W's and Th's and all the messed up 's endings of words - sorry about that😊) The code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/programming2point0... - I begin working from the 01-abstraction branch, and you can follow along my steps in the 02-problem-solving branch.
