It's also a discipline which, like martial arts, changes fundamentally the way you see the universe, once you get far enough in and become advanced enough. Dijkstra, A Discipline of Programming, * Prentice-Hall, 3. First, if your programmer is not disciplined, Perl is almost guaranteed to give you spaghetti code. Perl is also great for those who are experienced and disciplined programmers who want to build large systems. Dijkstra made a similar argument on page 56 of his book "A Discipline of Programming", together with another argument in support of the != form. 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.

For a long time I thought that Dijkstra's 1976 book “A Discipline of Programming” was a preview of the promised land by showing how to do this, not with assertions, but with guarded commands and weakest preconditions. Today, I presented a position paper entitled “Programming Can Deepen Understanding Across Disciplines”. To Ander's defense, let me acknowledge that AspectJ has been used for the ugly. As long as I have been programming (about 35 years now) a common, recurring, and never ending discussion though is how to categorize programming as a discipline. Dijkstra talks about this problem in detail in one of my favorite books, "A discipline of programming." Also, here's an article with a surprisingly simple recursive solution: http://nicolas-lara.blogspot.com/2009/01/permutations. A Discipline of Multiprogramming: Programming Theory for Distributed Applications (Monographs in Computer Science) book download. Instead, game design has emerged as its own distinct discipline. From the video one can understand that Edsger preferred Mozart's style of programming. 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. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices. Mature aspect-oriented frameworks offer a disciplined approach to programming.
