A discipline of programming Edsger W. Dijkstra
Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc.

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. Monads provide a type discipline for effectful programming, mapping value types to computation types. Having the basis for ingenuity is a great thing for kids, and I can't really ever see that going away, but I really think that programming as a discipline is becoming more a means to an end rather than an end in and of itself. Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. A Discipline of Multiprogramming: Programming Theory for Distributed Applications (Monographs in Computer Science) book download. Abstract for Haskellers: This is a long, involved defense of purity, both in terms of what it affords us in terms of power and in how it enforces “good” programming practices. In the act of creation, you encounter the same tension of raw, boundless possibility against disciplined construction. To Ander's defense, let me acknowledge that AspectJ has been used for the ugly. 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. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices. 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. Programming is probably the greatest, and most criminally untapped teaching tool we have developed in the last century. More than a parellel, programming began to change my way of looking at poetry. 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. Mature aspect-oriented frameworks offer a disciplined approach to programming. 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.

Likewise programming is nothing like testing either.
