- Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Norvig. - A Discipline of Programming by Dijkstra. Dijkstra should be included here. - Smalltalk 80: The Language and Its Implementation by Adele Goldberg. Art Basel also has its share of cross-disciplinary programming this year. A discipline like Extreme Programming requires a radical upgrade in both technical and social skills, especially for programmers. It requires become transparent, accountable, and responsible. I think there are a large number of people in the JAP category who are there because programming is considered a discipline unto itself, with its own career path. 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. Thus the discipline of programming has become blurred. Python has an identity crisis sometimes. In fact, Dijkstra should go at the top, followed by Knuth. Perhaps a step back in In Problem Seeking , the classic quote and discipline separation was stated as "Programming is problem seeing, design is problem solving. On December 9, for instance, it presents a panel on “The Artist as Musician,” looking at how numerous international artists also perform music. Monads provide a type discipline for effectful programming, mapping value types to computation types. 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. I think "A Discipline of Programming", " Formal Development of Programs and Proofs" or "A Method of Programming" by Edsger W. It starts with the premise, from Guido's prior work on ABC, to make a simple but easy to understand language. 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.
