A disciplined and knowledgeable programmer, who is strong in implementation, but lacks creativity and drive. - Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. TDD is a discipline for programmers like double-entry bookkeeping is for accountants or sterile procedure is for surgeons.. 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). 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. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. 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). The capabilities and productivity of "professional" programmers vary widely. - Uncle Bob, The Pragmatics of TDD. The discipline of computre programming has made considerable progress over the years. 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. 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. 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. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. A perfect programmer knows everything there is to know about everything: this is nirvana: it allows us to solve any problem perfectly. And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable. Today, I presented a position paper entitled “Programming Can Deepen Understanding Across Disciplines”. 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. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. Central Staff, oversee the daily operation of the residence hall through the implementation of all residence life policies and procedures related to maintenance, programming, housing assignments, and disciplinary matters. 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.
