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

A perfect programmer knows everything there is to know about everything: this is nirvana: it allows us to solve any problem perfectly. 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. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices. 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. Dijkstra made a similar argument on page 56 of his book "A Discipline of Programming", together with another argument in support of the != form. 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). If you are feeling scholarly, Edsger W. Programming is unfortunately such a general term these days that I often find myself cringing at its use in broader contexts. Not just programming, but Mozart style of doing things. 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. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. Programming can mean a number of. That's the person who wants to learn programming as a discipline, and to get more out of his computer, or perhaps because he likes a challenge (but not the hobbyist's kind). From the video one can understand that Edsger preferred Mozart's style of programming. 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.
