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. I think "A Discipline of Programming", " Formal Development of Programs and Proofs" or "A Method of Programming" by Edsger W. 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. Dijkstra should be included here. 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. This can be overcome with at least a little thought to organization and putting in good comments, but that takes a discipline that many programmers fail to appreciate. Dijkstra wrote a program based on three axioms:. Dijkstra talks about this problem in detail in one of my favorite books, "A discipline of programming." Also, here's an article with a surprisingly simple recursive solution: http://nicolas-lara.blogspot.com/2009/01/permutations. To Ander's defense, let me acknowledge that AspectJ has been used for the ugly. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices. 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. Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming. Although programming is a discipline with a very large canon of existing work to draw from, the only code most programmers read is the code they maintain. In fact, Dijkstra should go at the top, followed by Knuth. Knowing that the details make the product itself. Use a list: Code: (setq maxvector '( (2761.11 1898.11 0.0) (3761.12 1538.43 0.0) (4761.15 2598.58 0.0) ) ). Web Design is sometimes described as a purely programming discipline with graphics tacked on the front, but this is not correct because the web is a visual medium. Edsger Dijkstra introduced this sequence to computer science in his book A Discipline of Programming, and it has been a staple of beginning programming courses ever since. Mature aspect-oriented frameworks offer a disciplined approach to programming. They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work.
