Getting Code Right | Gordon Bean | TEDxProvo
Dr. Gordon Bean explores the idea of beautiful code. Beyond code that just works, code that is clear, organized, and changeable. He emphasizes that well-written code is a form of effective communication. Just like a good recipe or a compelling essay, beautiful code conveys ideas in a way that others can understand, modify, and build upon. His message extends beyond programming: clear thinking and thoughtful structure are essential to solving problems and creating meaningful work in any discipline. Dr. Gordon Bean is a professor of Computer Science at Brigham Young University, where he focuses on helping students master foundational programming and software development skills. With a passion for teaching and a background in computational biology, Dr. Bean brings real-world problem-solving into the classroom, guiding students with clarity and energy.
