Edsger Dijkstra introduced this sequence to computer science in his book A Discipline of Programming, and it has been a staple of beginning programming courses ever since. Thus, orthogonality is an important mathematical discipline intrinsic to the specification of recursive functions that is naturally applied in functional programming and specification. Dijkstra - a Discipline of Programming. Many complex models attempt to deal with the deadlock problem—with backoff-and-retry protocols, for example—but they require strict discipline by programmers, and some introduce their own problems (e.g., livelock). Dijkstra should be included here. I've done both and I think it is unfair. Http://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Programming-Edsger-W-Dijkstra/dp/013215871X. Art Basel also has its share of cross-disciplinary programming this year. Unknown November 13, 2011 at 10:29 AM. A discipline like Extreme Programming requires a radical upgrade in both technical and social skills, especially for programmers. IMHO, the closer you are to the money, the more you make. In fact, Dijkstra should go at the top, followed by Knuth. I think "A Discipline of Programming", " Formal Development of Programs and Proofs" or "A Method of Programming" by Edsger W. It requires become transparent, accountable, and responsible. On December 9, for instance, it presents a panel on “The Artist as Musician,” looking at how numerous international artists also perform music.
