I've done both and I think it is unfair. Great programming is a discipline. The electronic version of "Communicating Sequential Processes" is now freely available for download. Likewise programming is nothing like testing either. It's important to remember that all programming languages require a discipline that most of us don't have. Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. Electrical perhaps, but what should happen is that the field should strive for a higher bar for engineering discipline using the other long standing engineering fields perhaps as a template. 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. IMHO, the closer you are to the money, the more you make. Unknown November 13, 2011 at 10:29 AM. A kind soul has scanned in the pages from "A Discipline of Programming" and made them freely available to everyone. 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. What I write about computer programming applies to other fields of problem solving, such as engineering and mathematics. Programming languages are intolerant of error in grammar or syntax.
