Elements of Programming Alexander
"Ask a mechanical, structural, or electrical engineer how far they would get without a heavy reliance on a firm mathematical foundation, and they will tell you, 'not far.' Yet so-called software engineers often practice their art with little or no idea of the mathematical underpinnings of what they are doing. And then we wonder why software is notorious for being delivered late and full of bugs, while other engineers routinely deliver finished bridges, automobiles, electrical appliances, etc. on time and with only minor defects. This book sets out to redress this imbalance. Members of my advanced development team at Adobe who took the course based on the same material all benefited greatly from the time invested. It may appear as a highly technical text intended only for computer scientists, but it should be required reading for all practicing software engineers." —Martin Newell, Adobe Fellow "The book contains some of the most beautiful code I have ever seen." — Bjarne Stroustrup, Designer of C++ "I am happy to see Alex's course, development and teaching of which I strongly supported as the CTO of Silicon Graphics, to be now available to all programmers in this elegant little book." —Forest Baskett, General Partner, New Enterprise Associates "Paul's patience and architectural experience helped to organize Alex's mathematical approach into a tightly-structured edifice—an impressive feat!" —Robert W. Taylor, Founder of Xerox PARC CSL and DEC Systems Research Center
