A discipline like Extreme Programming requires a radical upgrade in both technical and social skills, especially for programmers. Having the basis for ingenuity is a great thing for kids, and I can't really ever see that going away, but I really think that programming as a discipline is becoming more a means to an end rather than an end in and of itself. Dijkstra should be included here. As a result Alistair sees Crystal as requiring less discipline than extreme programming, trading off less efficiency for a greater habitability and reduced chances of failure. Still, if the only problems were deterministic access violations, I could live with them (I'm a very disciplined programmer). I think there are a large number of people in the JAP category who are there because programming is considered a discipline unto itself, with its own career path. In fact, Dijkstra should go at the top, followed by Knuth. A Discipline of Programming (Prentice-Hall Series in Automatic Computation) By E. They are reasonably easy to reproduce and can be debugged using standard methods (code coverage). Abstract for Haskellers: This is a long, involved defense of purity, both in terms of what it affords us in terms of power and in how it enforces “good” programming practices. Dijkstra * Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc. If computer languages were To write a decent program, you have to discipline your brain *far* more than you would need with any language (because, let's face it, other people are forgiving but compilers or computers are not). With a few notable exceptions (e.g. It requires become transparent, accountable, and responsible. Dijkstra wrote a program based on three axioms:. I think "A Discipline of Programming", " Formal Development of Programs and Proofs" or "A Method of Programming" by Edsger W. Many of us, however, formerly self-studied the discipline of programming and filled in the gaps in our knowledge with most, if not all, of the subjects taught in the University programs. Murnane, 1993) most research about the cognitive effects of computer programming seemed to have focused on programming as a problem solving rather than a linguistic activity. Edsger Dijkstra introduced this sequence to computer science in his book A Discipline of Programming, and it has been a staple of beginning programming courses ever since. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices.
