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

Thus the discipline of programming has become blurred. Electrical perhaps, but what should happen is that the field should strive for a higher bar for engineering discipline using the other long standing engineering fields perhaps as a template. 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. Stay the course—be disciplined. Programming languages are intolerant of error in grammar or syntax. 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. Use a list: Code: (setq maxvector '( (2761.11 1898.11 0.0) (3761.12 1538.43 0.0) (4761.15 2598.58 0.0) ) ). Didn't Dijkstra suggest in "A Discipline of Programming" that each program should come with a mathematical proof of it's correctness so that it was by definition bug free? First, if your programmer is not disciplined, Perl is almost guaranteed to give you spaghetti code. 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. One way to get rid of warnings from your code is to pay attention to the warnings and fix the code. It's important to remember that all programming languages require a discipline that most of us don't have. 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. Perl is also great for those who are experienced and disciplined programmers who want to build large systems. 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. Perhaps a step back in In Problem Seeking , the classic quote and discipline separation was stated as "Programming is problem seeing, design is problem solving. Experienced programmers will tell you that ignoring warnings is a bad practice.
