I'm looking for courses that seem to be the opposite of this... no language or programming at all, but instead looking at the process of breaking down problems. We've hired several devs out of bootcamp, and they're all taught how to code, but not how to solve problems using code... Anyone have material that might be good for this? Books, videos, courses?
Look forward to checking it out. Thanks!

"Forever" in the "full stack" world means 6 months before a whole 'nother load of frameworks are in fashion and you have to start again...

Frankly any Algorithms & Data structures book should do the trick. Choosing the right data structure is often half the solution when solving a problem. That plus SICP and a book about Discrete Math should be enough for 90% of the daily problems.

FYI, it's spelled 'discrete math.' I know this only as someone who spent years incorrectly spelling 'discreet' as 'discrete' because of my math background.

Can you give an example of solving a problem using code vs coding?
