Explaning the basics of Constraint Programming #177

Open Zetagon opened 2 years ago

About the author

I'm a masters student in computer science that took a course in constraint programming they like a lot.

Quick Summary

I've written an introductory blog post about Constraint Programming that explains the foundational ideas of it. It was inspired by the last SoME, but I wrote it this spring so it's not really eligible for the competition. But! If anyone adapts it into some other format (say a video) we could submit it anyways.

The target audience for the blog post is people who are slightly familiar with programming, but I want people that have never touched programming to at least be able to understand the broad strokes. Constraint programming is a very interesting technique that is remarkably simple and very powerful, so I want more people to be aware of it.

Target medium

I'm mostly thinking of a video as the target medium, but I'm open to other ideas as well.

I'd like to expand on your idea. My background is computer science in college (first year), and I have no prior video creation experience, but I'll make it work, hopefully. Contact me if interested! Andy_Go#1068

Sorry for the delay (life happened) @RattatAndyGo ! I'm Lejon#9409

I don't really know how we should collaborate on this, but will probably give you pretty free reigns so you can do whatever you want. Of course we can chat around a bunch too.
