1st Quarter Experience

I didn't really know what to expect from How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, but I have been a little surprised by what I've learned so far. With every knew chapter I see the relationship between what we've learned in the earlier ones. It all fits together very nicely, but I still don't really know where we're going. I've got the first puzzle pieces fitted together, but I don't know what the big picture looks like yet.
