I heard a wonderful interview of Reid on Charlie Rose a couple of weeks ago. Anything he says or writes is worth noting. I'm within one connection of adding him to my LI network.

When Phil Windley pointed me to Jeannette Wing’s manifesto on computational thinking, she had me at hello. The intellectual tools of computer science, she argues — including the ability to work at multiple levels of abstraction, to automate repetitive processes, and to make and use state machines — are really “a universally applicable attitude and skill set that everyone, not just computer scientists, would be eager to learn and use.”
