Dijkstra - a Discipline of Programming. Not just programming, but Mozart style of doing things. 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. They rarely look outside the code directly affecting their work. 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. 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? Van Wijngaarden, persuaded him that in the years to come he could be one of the people to make programming a respectable discipline. Programming is a discipline, a discipline that is often undermined and taken lightly. It starts with the premise, from Guido's prior work on ABC, to make a simple but easy to understand language.

The discipline requires considerable programming and computing knowledge, as well as visualization, so that the insights extracted from the data can be presented in a way that reinforces human cognition. 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. From the video one can understand that Edsger preferred Mozart's style of programming. 2) Be adept at your discipline (Game design, Marketing, Programming (C#), 2d/3d art, analytics). Http://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Programming-Edsger-W-Dijkstra/dp/013215871X. A disciplined and knowledgeable programmer, who is strong in implementation, but lacks creativity and drive. And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable. There are a number of skills an intern has to posses in order to apply: 1) Have a great portfolio. Python has an identity crisis sometimes. 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.
