A discipline of programming Edsger W. Dijkstra

From the video one can understand that Edsger preferred Mozart's style of programming. A Discipline of Programming, E.W. Not just programming, but Mozart style of doing things. Their desks are often littered with stacks of paper and other debris. 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. However, accessibility is only part of the story. 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. Knowing that the details make the product itself. As I recently noted, I'm making some shifts in my work so that I can focus more on some of these questions surrounding how do we create learning environments for non-programmers to learn programming. Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. Dijkstra : I liked Test-Driven Development a lot more when it was called Correctness by Construction. 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. We might talk about reaching as wide an audience as possible, or about laws requiring accessible websites. Web Design is sometimes described as a purely programming discipline with graphics tacked on the front, but this is not correct because the web is a visual medium. The most common excuse is that "a cluttered desk is a sign of a brilliant mind. It is well known that programmers generally abhor organization and discipline.
