A discipline of programming Edsger W. Dijkstra
Publisher: Prentice Hall, Inc.

A kind soul has scanned in the pages from "A Discipline of Programming" and made them freely available to everyone. Still, if the only problems were deterministic access violations, I could live with them (I'm a very disciplined programmer). I wrote a response, explaining where Dijkstra was coming from, and I am very happy with how it . There are a number of skills an intern has to posses in order to apply: 1) Have a great portfolio. Dijkstra introduces a function called wp for "weakest precondition". Knowing that the details make the product itself. Mature aspect-oriented frameworks offer a disciplined approach to programming. To Ander's defense, let me acknowledge that AspectJ has been used for the ugly. Their desks are often littered with stacks of paper and other debris. 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. It is well known that programmers generally abhor organization and discipline. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. People often use this as an example to show that Dijkstra was excessively doctrinaire, and out of touch with the reality of programming, but usually it's because they don't know what his argument was. 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. 2) Be adept at your discipline (Game design, Marketing, Programming (C#), 2d/3d art, analytics). The electronic version of "Communicating Sequential Processes" is now freely available for download. 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). The most common excuse is that "a cluttered desk is a sign of a brilliant mind. For further details, see Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming". They are reasonably easy to reproduce and can be debugged using standard methods (code coverage).
