Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming. As a result Alistair sees Crystal as requiring less discipline than extreme programming, trading off less efficiency for a greater habitability and reduced chances of failure. 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. That's the person who wants to learn programming as a discipline, and to get more out of his computer, or perhaps because he likes a challenge (but not the hobbyist's kind). · Programming is an engineering discipline. - Uncle Bob, The Pragmatics of TDD. 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. The discipline of computre programming has made considerable progress over the years. TDD is a discipline for programmers like double-entry bookkeeping is for accountants or sterile procedure is for surgeons.. The capabilities and productivity of "professional" programmers vary widely. O They run forever after, even after changing. O Programs work the first time they run.
