The Carnegie Mellon Center for Computational Thinking defines computational thinking as:
"Computational Thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent."
I have mentioned computational thinking in a prior blog post. The notion of computational thinking has more relevance when you think about computational professional services. Here are some ways to learn more:
- Five minutes: This five minute video, Computational Thinking by JULES, provides an excellent overview of computational thinking.
- About an hour: This 40 minute video, Computational Thinking, provides a bit more depth.
- Couple of hours: Want even more? Here is a video play list, Computational Thinking, that contains 9 videos (including the two above).
If you already get what computational thinking is and why it is critically important, then you might want to check out this XBRL-based financial reporting jumpstart or Mastering XBRL-based Digital Financial Reporting.
