The *ART* of Computer Programming

[Andreas Pikoulas]

    From Paul Tom's book "Computer Information Systems" page 169

   " Not only do organizations standarize programming languages, they also
develop coding styles so that programs written by different programmers
all follow good coding conventions. While SOME consider programming a
"creative activity", a programmer should be as creative as a bricklayer
following a blueprint for building a wall on a house. Creative programming
, like accounting , can only get the user into trouble. "

Please elaborate on this by e-mail. I plan to send your answers to the
 author.

                                 Thanks in advance
