Beschreibung:Long ago, the welfare of a society used to depend heavily on the skill and dedication of its craftsmen - the miller, the blacksmith, the cobbler and the tailor. These craftsmen acquired their skill by a long and poorly paid apprenticeship to some master of their craft. They learned by imitation and experience, and by trial and error. They did not read books or study science, they knew nothing of the theory of their subject, the geometry of their rudimentary drawings, nor the mathematics underlying their primitive calculations. They could not explain how or why they used their methods; yet they worked effectively by themselves or in small teams to complete their tasks at a predicted cost, to a fairly well predicted timescale, and usually to the satisfaction of their clients. The programmer of today shares many of these attributes of a craftsman. He learns his craft by apprenticeship in an existing team of programmers - but his apprenticeship is highly paid and usually very short. He develops his skill by trial; but mostly by error. He does not study theory, or even read books on Computer Science. He knows nothing of the logical and mathematical foundations of his profession; and he hates to explain or justify, or even to document what he has done
