There are a number of skills an intern has to posses in order to apply: 1) Have a great portfolio. Immutable Object Programming (IOP) enforces a discipline on the programmer, much like structured programming enforced a discipline on programmers. Murnane, 1993) most research about the cognitive effects of computer programming seemed to have focused on programming as a problem solving rather than a linguistic activity. And experienced individual who could create great solutions; however inconsistent and unpredictable. The sole justification for discipline in software development and maintenance, is that it as it prevents defects. If computer languages were To write a decent program, you have to discipline your brain *far* more than you would need with any language (because, let's face it, other people are forgiving but compilers or computers are not). The capabilities and productivity of "professional" programmers vary widely. That's not accidental — I think that, even in as fast-moving a discipline as programming, it takes time for a book to establish itself as a classic; and the really good books are timeless. Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming. I think there are a large number of people in the JAP category who are there because programming is considered a discipline unto itself, with its own career path. With a few notable exceptions (e.g. 2) Be adept at your discipline (Game design, Marketing, Programming (C#), 2d/3d art, analytics). Edsger Dijkstra introduced this sequence to computer science in his book A Discipline of Programming, and it has been a staple of beginning programming courses ever since. The discipline of computre programming has made considerable progress over the years. Dijkstra wrote a program based on three axioms:. Didn't Dijkstra suggest in "A Discipline of Programming" that each program should come with a mathematical proof of it's correctness so that it was by definition bug free? A disciplined and knowledgeable programmer, who is strong in implementation, but lacks creativity and drive.
