A discipline of programming Edsger W. Dijkstra

This captures the essence of pairing as far as I'm concerned – it is a discipline of “programming out loud”. 2) Be adept at your discipline (Game design, Marketing, Programming (C#), 2d/3d art, analytics). Dijkstra introduces a function called wp for "weakest precondition". There are a number of skills an intern has to posses in order to apply: 1) Have a great portfolio. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. Unknown November 13, 2011 at 10:29 AM. Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. IMHO, the closer you are to the money, the more you make. People often use this as an example to show that Dijkstra was excessively doctrinaire, and out of touch with the reality of programming, but usually it's because they don't know what his argument was. I've done both and I think it is unfair. - Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. For further details, see Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming". Dijkstra made a similar argument on page 56 of his book "A Discipline of Programming", together with another argument in support of the != form. 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. Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming. Great programming is a discipline. #3 | Written by Jorge Aranda on July 12, 2011. I wrote a response, explaining where Dijkstra was coming from, and I am very happy with how it .
