Topic: The Art of Computer Programming

	Donald Knuth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In recognition of Knuth's contributions to the field of computer science, in 1990 he was awarded the singular academic title of Professor of the Art of Computer Programming, which has since been revised to Professor Emeritus of the Art of Computer Programming.
		In addition to his writings on computer science, Knuth is also the author of 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated (1991), ISBN 0895792524, in which he attempts to examine the Bible by a process of stratified random sampling, namely an analysis of chapter 3, verse 16 of each book.
		Each verse is accompanied by a rendering in calligraphic art, contributed by a group of calligraphers under the leadership of Hermann Zapf.

	About the Art of Programming Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Computers are tools, and should be treated as such; they are neither monsters nor savants, simply tools, in the same category as the printing press, the automobile, and the telephone.
		After ten years of experiences at the Academy of Media Art, Cologne we learned that there is no chance for artists than to be trained in programming and to be able of questioning the fundamental concepts of programming (languages, models of computation, logics) and the constructions of interfaces.
		Mostly computer art projects are much too complex and too ambitious to be realised in the context of the usual art funding.

	ONLamp.com -- Art and Computer Programming
		Programming in general is not fine art, but some entries in the obfuscated C contest may qualify.
		Program syntax and logic might seem to be more restrictive than these rules, which is why it is more inspiring to think as Fred Brooks did--in the heart of the machine.
		Programming is similar, a big industry's engineer is like the architect, he imagine a system and then use tools (the programmers and the computers) to realize.

	Knuth: Computer Programming as an Art
		Art in general consists of the truths of Science, arranged in the most convenient order for practice, instead of the order which is the most convenient for thought.
		From this standpoint it is certainly desirable to make computer programming a science, and we have indeed come a long way in the 15 years since the publication ot the remarks I quoted at the beginning of this talk.
		To summarize: We have seen that computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty.

	The Art of Computer Programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Art of Computer Programming is a comprehensive monograph written by Donald Knuth which covers many kinds of programming algorithms and their analysis.
		American Scientist has included this work among the best twelve physical-science monographs of the twentieth century, and amongst the computer science community it is regarded as the first and still the best comprehensive treatment of its subject.

		What he neglected to say was that computer programming has a whole lot to do with the related subject of symbolic logic which, by dumb luck, as I happened to be starting in a major in Philosophy, I was quite conversant.
		In my first computer programming course, we learned three languages, one of which was literally a machine language punched onto paper tape, one was a second generation language on a pre-IBM 360 mainframe, and one of which was a 2 ½ generation language invented at my school, Lehigh University, called Wiz.
		The most important contents of Knuth's books for a modern computer science student is his description of the major programming structures such as the tree, the stack, the queue, and the list plus his examples on how to analyze algorithms.

		This first volume in the series begins with basic programming concepts and techniques, then focuses more particularly on information structures-the representation of information inside a computer, the structural relationships between data elements and how to deal with them efficiently.
		Computer Science has been changing and growing at a fantastic rate, yet I believe nearly everything in The Art of Computer Programming is crucial information that will never become obsolete.
		Knuth is the essential computer algorithm for your library of computer sciences.

		Art of Computer Programming Vol 4 Donald E. Knuth / Hardcover / (Not Yet Published) -- When published this volume will definitely be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as for the longest interval between the first editions of the previous and next volumes (more than 20 years ;-)
		Writing computer programs is easy, writing programs that are useful is hard and writing programs that are very useful as well as correct sometimes seems impossible.
		Buildings, paintings or other works of art are often admired not only for their subjective beauty, but also for the talent that it took to create them.

		Knuth's mammoth work, covering the entire field of computer science and its supporting mathematics, remained unfinished at his death.
		Some 48 volumes have been recovered to date and at least two dozen others are known to have existed, including the one in which Knuth first presented his brilliant resolution of the P vs. NP question.
		This counterintuitive result may have been proved by an obscure computer scientist named Erdos or Erdös, about whom we know nothing except that his Knuth number was, coincidentally, 2.

	Donald Knuth and The Art of Computer Science
		Knuth was given the Turing award in 1974 in thanks for his invaluable contributions to programming language design, the analysis of algorithms, and his series of books, The Art of Computer Programming.
		Knuth was given the first chair of the new Stanford computer science department where he remained until 1993 when he retired as “Professor Emeritus of the Art of Computer Programming”.
		All programs are written in assembly (for his own made up machine) or English to prevent dating them with some old high-level language.

	The Art of Computer Programming (Donald Knuth)
		For those unfamiliar with the work, it is not about computer programming in the broad sense, but about the algorithms and methods which lie at the heart of most computer systems.
		Almost everyone who has ever programmed has written a bubble sort at some point, but the full complexities of sorting algorithms are another story entirely.
		Reading The Art of Programming is a serious enough undertaking in itself (I have only read about a third of it so far myself), but anyone who succeeds in doing all the exercises will have earned themselves several doctorates.

		Computing's philosopher king argues for elegance in programming -- and a Pulitzer Prize for the best written.
		But when you consider that most of Knuth's work has been devoted to just that -- figuring out how much time things like computer programs take -- and the statement takes on new (and slightly disingenuous) meanings.
		To them, Knuth, now professor emeritus of the art of computer programming at Stanford University, is irrelevant, abstruse and bothersome because he illustrates concepts in machine code, the lowest-level programming language and the hardest to read.

		As Knuth himself says, it is impossible for any one person to keep up with all the research in computer science, but these 3 volumes do a remarkably good job of distilling the most important results and explaining them with mathematical rigor.
		If all you care about is getting a program to run, buy another book; but if you really want to understand how and why software works, there's nothing quite like this.
		Now, if that isn't insulting enough (you caught me on a good day (after 32 years of programming I have come to hate computers and...)) you would be amazed at how many self proclaimed senior programmers (programmers with more than three years of experience?) can't write an algorithm to save their lives.

		Do you think algorithms are the art of computer programming, or has something changed since the '60s and '70s?
		So, there might be a certain complexity in adding to a piece of software, but if you don't add it, for the people who are using it, it introduces complexity because they must do things in a stilted way.

		There is no way to explain the beauty which is Knuth; they are so pervasive and revered that they're known by many shorthand names, most commonly as Knuth or as TAoCP.
		These are simultaneously some of the most elegant and some of the most difficult books ever written, and are frequently believed to be the best computer science books written to date.
		At nearly 700 pages the lightest of the three, Knuth 1 presents as groundwork material more difficult than almost any other computer science book I am aware of; even for the first volume, the only book in the neighborhood is CLRS.
