Book Reviews of A Discipline of Programming (Prentice-Hall Series in Automatic Computation)
Book Review: Interesting, but not vital
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book interesting - not least because it is a "classic" computing text. It seems like (I can't be more definitive because I have never studied computer science) an introduction to thinking about proving programs correct and reasoning about code.I wouldn't recommend it to someone learning computing - it's hardly Abelson et al. - but it's a good book to muse over.
