A Discipline of Programming, E.W. In the first of two blogs, Ajit Jaokar, co-founder of feynlabs, shares five of his ten steps for the radical transformation of how we teach kids software programming. It matters because ultimately writing code is about discipline and details. The short answer is an emphatic 'yes'. 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. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices. To understand the concept of "mastery" in a discipline, recognizing that even if mastery is not achieved, there is still value in learning programming; To co-relate programming with other math and science disciplines at an early stage, e.g. Does it really matter what the code looks like? This can be overcome with at least a little thought to organization and putting in good comments, but that takes a discipline that many programmers fail to appreciate. But it by no means suggests that in order to be a great designer you must also be a great programmer. Dijkstra : I liked Test-Driven Development a lot more when it was called Correctness by Construction. Instead, game design has emerged as its own distinct discipline.
