And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable. O Programs work the first time they run.

The electronic version of "Communicating Sequential Processes" is now freely available for download. · Programming is an engineering discipline. O They run forever after, even after changing. For a long time I thought that Dijkstra's 1976 book “A Discipline of Programming” was a preview of the promised land by showing how to do this, not with assertions, but with guarded commands and weakest preconditions.
