Dijkstra * Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc. What I write about computer programming applies to other fields of problem solving, such as engineering and mathematics. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. A Discipline of Programming (Prentice-Hall Series in Automatic Computation) By E. Programming is probably the greatest, and most criminally untapped teaching tool we have developed in the last century. - Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. Dijkstra, A Discipline of Programming, * Prentice-Hall, 3. 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? If DH were an accepted discipline, the recognition of programming activities or contributions to databases as scholarly accomplishment would not be such a big deal. 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. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. Programming is a discipline, a discipline that is often undermined and taken lightly.
