The next 10 weeks After dislocating my shoulder last week, you could say I was a tad bit hesitant to bench. I think for some reason computer programming is often miscategorized as a discipline to study or a class to take that's only relevant for aspiring software engineers. If you take a look at his “A Discipline of Programming” (which is admittedly not an easy sit for the general reader) you'll understand he's talking about “correct-by-construction” programming. A Discipline of Multiprogramming: Programming Theory for Distributed Applications (Monographs in Computer Science) book download. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. Dijkstra - a Discipline of Programming. If computer languages were To write a decent program, you have to discipline your brain *far* more than you would need with any language (because, let's face it, other people are forgiving but compilers or computers are not).

Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. 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. Proposals will be considered in any arts discipline, including but not limited to: the performing arts, the visual arts, multimedia arts programs, and conferences or symposia that incorporate arts elements. What I write about computer programming applies to other fields of problem solving, such as engineering and mathematics. Murnane, 1993) most research about the cognitive effects of computer programming seemed to have focused on programming as a problem solving rather than a linguistic activity.

Perhaps a step back in In Problem Seeking , the classic quote and discipline separation was stated as "Programming is problem seeing, design is problem solving. 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? Thus the discipline of programming has become blurred.
