Testing an application, particularly if it is user facing as most of my 3 decades of work has been, is a discipline all by itself. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. GO A discipline of programming. Likewise programming is nothing like testing either. However, accessibility is only part of the story. As I recently noted, I'm making some shifts in my work so that I can focus more on some of these questions surrounding how do we create learning environments for non-programmers to learn programming. The technology itself would be useless if human creativity is not included in its application. 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. We might talk about reaching as wide an audience as possible, or about laws requiring accessible websites. Language: English Released: 1976. 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). 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. - Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming.
