<p><em>My answer to <a href="https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-books-that-programmers-should-read-to-understand-logic/answer/Simon-Willison">What are some books that programmers should read to understand logic?</a> on Quora</em></p> <p>Logic is more of a mathematical concept than a computer science concept - programming books are unlikely to focus on it.</p> <p>If you want a book that will help you understand the deeper concepts behind programming, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is pretty remarkable.</p> <div><img src="https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6f05b36f7d308750ad9b02f2f0151c26-c" width="400" height="579" style="max-width: 100%" /></div> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/logic">logic</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/programming">programming</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/quora">quora</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.cmlenz.net/blog/2007/06/logic-in-templa.html">Logic in Templates</a></strong></p> I don’t think it would hurt Django to have a bit more support for conditional logic in templates, but I wouldn’t go as far as supporting the ability to call Python functions directly. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/christopher-lenz">christopher-lenz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/logic">logic</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/templates">templates</a></p>
