Software engineering, which is a largely unrelated discipline.
- joe_the_user 15y agoJeesh, It could be nice to have a non-snark explanation to avoid confusion. The infinite page method given is programming technique. It is neither computer science nor software engineering in the way that a technique for holding a hammer is neither part of architecture nor mechanical engineering. "[Software Engineering] is a 'systematic approach to the analysis, design, assessment, implementation, test, maintenance and reengineering of software, that is, the application of engineering to software.'" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineering Software engineering is a part of applied computer science. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science
