So I've been doing TDD with one project, and LP with another project, and I've come to a rather amusing conclusion: Test Driven Development and Literate Programming are the same discipline. 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. Use a list: Code: (setq maxvector '( (2761.11 1898.11 0.0) (3761.12 1538.43 0.0) (4761.15 2598.58 0.0) ) ). - Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. Today, I presented a position paper entitled “Programming Can Deepen Understanding Across Disciplines”. Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. Programming languages are intolerant of error in grammar or syntax. 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. 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. Many of us, however, formerly self-studied the discipline of programming and filled in the gaps in our knowledge with most, if not all, of the subjects taught in the University programs. As a result Alistair sees Crystal as requiring less discipline than extreme programming, trading off less efficiency for a greater habitability and reduced chances of failure. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. 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. The sole justification for discipline in software development and maintenance, is that it as it prevents defects. Programming is probably the greatest, and most criminally untapped teaching tool we have developed in the last century. It's important to remember that all programming languages require a discipline that most of us don't have.
