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

A disciplined and knowledgeable programmer, who is strong in implementation, but lacks creativity and drive. From the video one can understand that Edsger preferred Mozart's style of programming. - Uncle Bob, The Pragmatics of TDD. If you are feeling scholarly, Edsger W. Dijkstra's 1976 book, A Discipline of Programming, explains a design process which is very clearly the origin of both TDD and Design by Contract. TDD is a discipline for programmers like double-entry bookkeeping is for accountants or sterile procedure is for surgeons.. First, if your programmer is not disciplined, Perl is almost guaranteed to give you spaghetti code. Dijkstra made a similar argument on page 56 of his book "A Discipline of Programming", together with another argument in support of the != form. In the first of two blogs, Ajit Jaokar, co-founder of feynlabs, shares five of his ten steps for the radical transformation of how we teach kids software programming. Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. Not just programming, but Mozart style of doing things. Van Wijngaarden, persuaded him that in the years to come he could be one of the people to make programming a respectable discipline. According to Dijkstra's experience, described in chapter "The problem of next permutation" of "A Discipline of Programming", the separation of code and data is essential for clarity. To understand the concept of "mastery" in a discipline, recognizing that even if mastery is not achieved, there is still value in learning programming; To co-relate programming with other math and science disciplines at an early stage, e.g. And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable. Perl is also great for those who are experienced and disciplined programmers who want to build large systems.
