	Procedural programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Procedural programming is often a better choice than simple sequential or unstructured programming in many situations which involve moderate complexity or which require significant ease of maintainability.
		The focus of procedural programming is to break down a programming task into a collection of data structures and routines, whereas in object oriented programming it is to break down a programming task into objects.
		To be considered procedural, a programming language should support procedural programming by having an explicit concept of a procedure, and a syntax to define it.

	Unstructured programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unstructured programming is a programming paradigm where all code is contained in a single continuous block.
		Unstructured programming languages have to rely on execution flow statements such as Goto, used in many languages to jump to a specified section of code.
		Unstructured programming is still used in some scripting languages such as MS-DOS batch files, older programming languages such as BASIC or FORTRAN.

	Programming paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 vn1.cs.wustl.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A programming paradigm is a paradigmatic style of programming (compare with a methodology, which is a paradigmatic style of doing software engineering).
		For instance, in object-oriented programming, programmers can think of a program as a collection of interacting objects, while in functional programming a program can be thought of as a sequence of stateless function evaluations.
		For instance, pure functional programming disallows the use of side-effects; structured programming disallows the use of goto.

	More on Structured Programming
		The two most common are Jackson Structured Programming, which is based on aligning data structures with program structures and Dijkstra's structured programming, which is based on splitting programs into sub-sections, each with a single point of entry and of exit.
		It is possible to do structured programming in almost any procedural programming language, but since about 1970 when structured programming began to gain popularity as a technique, most new procedural programming languages have included features to encourage structured programming, (and sometimes have left out features that would make unstructured programming easy).
		Unstructured languages define control flow largely in terms of a GOTO command that transfers execution to a label in code.

	structured programming - a Whatis.com definition
		In this model (which is often considered to be synonymous with structured programming, although other models exist) the developer separates programs into subsections that each have only one point of access and one point of exit.
		Unstructured programming must rely upon the discipline of the developer to avoid structural problems, and as a consequence may result in poorly organized programs.
		Object-oriented programming (OOP) can be thought of as a type of structured programming, uses structured programming techniques for program flow, and adds more structure for data to the model.

	What is programming language? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Assembly languages are similar to machine languages, but they are much easier to program in because they allow a programmer to substitute names for numbers.
		Pascal is very good for writing well-structured and readable programs, but it is not as flexible as the C programming language.
		The choice of which language to use depends on the type of computer the program is to run on, what sort of program it is, and the expertise of the programmer.

	Essay #3: Programming - nuwen.net
		A program has a "state", which is the collective status of files, variables, memory, and other resources, and GOTO makes it incredibly difficult to understand what the state of a program is at any given point.
		Structured programming took the idea of functions, chunks of code which do something and then return data, and made it into the unit around which programs were to be broken up.
		Similarly, when learning a programming language, you should not learn how the compiler passes arguments to functions, how virtual functions do their thing, how signed integers are represented by the machine, and how malloc(), free(), new, new[], delete, and delete[] perform their magic.

		Programming methodologies is a complex field, with many methodologies (and names), and many goals and means to reach them: structured programming, programming by refinement, program analysis and verification, refactoring, and many more.
		Methodologies are developed to enhance one or more programming variable: programming or program speed, reliability, conformance to user/customer needs, reusability, code reuse and sharing, information hiding, etc. Some methodologies are more formal than others, some are embodied in formal tools, programs, etc. Many methodologies involve object-oriented programming.
		A fault is a programming error that may or may not actually manifest as a failure.

	Object
		Object-Oriented programming will not, to be honest, live up to all the hype that you have probably heard.
		Here ``main program'' stands for a sequence of commands or statements which modify data which is global throughout the whole program.
		The main program is responsible to pass data to the individual calls, the data is processed by the procedures and, once the program has finished, the resulting data is presented.

		The profiler in the JVM will keep track of the total time it takes a program to execute and what percentage of that total time is spent in each method in the program.
		To use the JVM profiler, you compile the program normally and use a command line argument to the JVM to ask it to perform profiling.

		The goal of program comprehension is to acquire sufficient knowledge about a software system so that it can evolve in a disciplined manner.
		While the benefits of object-oriented technology are widely recognized, the indiscriminate use of object-oriented mechanisms and weakness in their analysis and design methods are rapidly leading to a new generation of inflexible legacy systems.
		Program comprehension is a crucial part of system development and software maintenance.

	That First Gulp of Java
		If Java were just another powerful, expressive, object-oriented programming language, a few developers would have glanced at it, said, ``that's nice.'' and gone back to plowing their way through C++ code.
		Once a program is installed on a user's machine, the operating system executes its instructions directly--an arrangement that achieves efficiency at the expense of portability.
		Because a traditional fully compiled program is in native code, it is in an uncomfortably good position to exploit weaknesses in the operating system or hardware, and do serious damage.

		We continue to use a simple, or even simplistic technique: unstructured fl-box random testing, considering a failure to be a crash or hang.
		A testing technique that instruments programs with code that keeps track of memory buffers, and checks arguments to functions to determine if they satisfy certain conditions, warns when a buffer overflow may occur.

		Programming paradigms, from functional to structured to object-oriented, had all been introduced.
		In theory, programs would be easier to write because they were modeled on things that were easier to understand.
		Additionally, programs would be easier to read, and hence, easier to maintain, vastly reducing the largest costs associated with software.

		This makes sense when programming in BASIC or FORTRAN, as the careless use of GOTO and other branching commands can lead to problems in debugging and updating code, but it is in opposition to one of the greatest strengths of HTML: the ability to set up links to other documents wherever they are needed.
		A structured program often has a "core" section of code which deals with the problem to be solved in a sequential fashion.
		These comments may provide explanation of different sections or modules within the program, notes on the organization of the program, information about the writer(s) of the code, date of last update, etc. Comments are good programming practice, and they are also extremely useful in the HTML environment.

	"structured programming" (8052.com Forum) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Programming languages in fact do not have built-in support for structured programming; rather, they have built-in restrictions for unstructured programming...
		When I was taught programming in (secondary) school, we used to write down our first programs in a made-up (actually, Pascal-like) language using keywords of our language; then, to verify the result, we hand-translated it into BASIC according to firmly set rules and typed in and run in the then used 8-bitter school computer (PMD-85).
		Of course, this approach works, but is slow, cumbersom etc. - as are those languages (and the resulting code from them) which \"support\" structured programming, strong typing, and all those \"good habits\" etc.etc.
