The Programming

      One occasionally reads newspaper accounts of how two programmers in a remodeled garage have built an important program that surpasses the best efforts of large teams. And every programmer is prepared to believe such tales, for he knows that he could build any program.

            It is much faster than the thousand statements year reported for industrial teams.Why then have not all industrial programming teams been replaced by dedicated garage duos One must look at what is being produce a program.

      Ready to be run by the author on the system on which it was developed.That is the thing commonly produced in garages, and that is the object the individual programmer uses in estimating productivity.There are two ways a program can be converted into a more useful, but more costly, object.

      These two ways are represented by the boundaries in the diagram.Moving down across the horizontal boundary, a program becomes a programming product. This is a program that can be run,tested,repaired and extended by anybody.
