Jason Turner of C++ Weekly and Empty Crate spoke with us about the joy of puzzles, the changing directions of an interesting career, and the C++ programming language. I mean, of course we talked about C++. But only a little.&nbsp; Jason recently published <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Puzzles-Big-Book-pages/dp/B0FP312CRT"> Programming Puzzles Big Book: 400 pages of fun for ages 7-99</a>, a book of puzzles for the logically minded. It teaches programming concepts as engaging puzzles: recursion, binary, assembly, Lisp, regular expressions. You may not know what you are learning but you'll likely find you know a lot more about how computers work afterward.&nbsp; For the puzzles, paper is better than electronic. But you can also get the electronic version on <a href= "https://leanpub.com/programming_puzzles_for_everyone">LeanPub</a> (which is better if you like to get lost in Wikipedia links). This is not Jason's first puzzle book, he's made them for C++ Object Lifetime and Copy and Reference (see his <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jason-Turner/author/B0034N9C8G">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://leanpub.com/u/jason_turner">LeanPub</a> author page for other books as well).&nbsp; If you want to catch up on C++, check out <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxHAlbZQNFU2LgEtiqd2Maw">C++ Weekly With Jason Turner - YouTube</a>.
