An Overview of Programming Practices
J. M. Yohe · ACM Computing Surveys · 1974
The purpose of the paper is to indicate something of the nature of good programming. In this context, programming is taken to mean the entire process of communication between humans and computers. The programming process is subdivided into nine tasks, and an elementary discussion of these tasks is presented. Although the paper is primarily directed to the student or novice programmers, more experienced people may find it a worthwhile aid in codifying or reinforcing their experiences. (Author)
