Three Strange Definitions of Computer Programming
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y ago> Legendary computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra once said: > "Computer Science is no more about computers than > astronomy is about telescopes." But if programming > is not about the computers, what IS it about? Well there is an instant misrepresentation. Dijkstra referred to "Computer Science" and this is instantly morphed into "programming." Clear and distinct separations, or at least definitions, of these is the first step to understanding what Dijkstra was talking about.
