Dijkstra - a Discipline of Programming. The next 10 weeks After dislocating my shoulder last week, you could say I was a tad bit hesitant to bench. 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. The capabilities and productivity of "professional" programmers vary widely. Perl is also great for those who are experienced and disciplined programmers who want to build large systems. First, if your programmer is not disciplined, Perl is almost guaranteed to give you spaghetti code. That being said, to continue with jslade's analogy, there are different disciplines in programming (just as there are in ninjutsu, and in sports). A disciplined and knowledgeable programmer, who is strong in implementation, but lacks creativity and drive. The discipline of computre programming has made considerable progress over the years. 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. And in fact, some of these disciplines are diametric. Use a list: Code: (setq maxvector '( (2761.11 1898.11 0.0) (3761.12 1538.43 0.0) (4761.15 2598.58 0.0) ) ). And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable. This can be overcome with at least a little thought to organization and putting in good comments, but that takes a discipline that many programmers fail to appreciate. Dijkstra wrote a program based on three axioms:. Http://www.amazon.com/Category-Computer-Scientists-Foundations-Computing/dp/0262660717. Edsger Dijkstra introduced this sequence to computer science in his book A Discipline of Programming, and it has been a staple of beginning programming courses ever since.

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.
