A discipline of programming Edsger W. Dijkstra
Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc.

TDD is a discipline for programmers like double-entry bookkeeping is for accountants or sterile procedure is for surgeons.. - Uncle Bob, The Pragmatics of TDD. Thursday, 21 March 2013 at 17:50. 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 talks about this problem in detail in one of my favorite books, "A discipline of programming." Also, here's an article with a surprisingly simple recursive solution: http://nicolas-lara.blogspot.com/2009/01/permutations. The sole justification for discipline in software development and maintenance, is that it as it prevents defects. That's not accidental — I think that, even in as fast-moving a discipline as programming, it takes time for a book to establish itself as a classic; and the really good books are timeless. A disciplined and knowledgeable programmer, who is strong in implementation, but lacks creativity and drive. However, accessibility is only part of the story. A Discipline of Multiprogramming: Programming Theory for Distributed Applications (Monographs in Computer Science) book download. So I've been doing TDD with one project, and LP with another project, and I've come to a rather amusing conclusion: Test Driven Development and Literate Programming are the same discipline. We might talk about reaching as wide an audience as possible, or about laws requiring accessible websites. Van Wijngaarden, persuaded him that in the years to come he could be one of the people to make programming a respectable discipline. The discipline requires considerable programming and computing knowledge, as well as visualization, so that the insights extracted from the data can be presented in a way that reinforces human cognition. Somewhere in the middle are the true software engineers, who approach computer programming in a disciplined and rigourous knowledge-based manner, similar to that of engineers in other fields. And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable.
