TDD is a discipline for programmers like double-entry bookkeeping is for accountants or sterile procedure is for surgeons.. 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. 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. Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. According to Dijkstra's experience, described in chapter "The problem of next permutation" of "A Discipline of Programming", the separation of code and data is essential for clarity. Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming. #3 | Written by Jorge Aranda on July 12, 2011. Today, I presented a position paper entitled “Programming Can Deepen Understanding Across Disciplines”. This captures the essence of pairing as far as I'm concerned – it is a discipline of “programming out loud”. A Discipline of Programming, E.W. He begins by considering the questions, "What is an algorithm?" and "What are we doing when we program? Publisher: Prentice Hall | pages: 217 | 1976 | ISBN: 013215871X | PDF | 14,3 mb. 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. - Uncle Bob, The Pragmatics of TDD. Many of us, however, formerly self-studied the discipline of programming and filled in the gaps in our knowledge with most, if not all, of the subjects taught in the University programs. Dijkstra : I liked Test-Driven Development a lot more when it was called Correctness by Construction.
