I'm trying to find resources that help with learning how to analyze problems, figure out their bits and pieces, and create algorithms as preparation for creating software.
I don't need anything that's language specific.
I'm taking a class called software design at a local community college. A project we're working on is creating a bookstore. The teacher has asked for analysis of the problem (actors, interactions), and design (algorithms and/or pseudo-code for each actor and each of their roles).
I'm pretty frustrated because I don't feel like the teacher prepared us for this - no tools, very limited, unhelpful examples, exercises on javascript, but no help or guidance leading up to the tasks that have now been assigned.
Anybody got any resources? I don't see anything like this in Treehouse, but maybe it's buried within a track?

1,781 PointsI think you're a bit confused. CSS is for coding styles to websites. Algorithms (in general) are sets of instructions to manipulate data. Those are 2 very different things.
