Abstract: We call our discipline “computing science” and may even agree that programming is its essence. But does our practice correspond to this claim? We only talk of the science around the artefacts we work with: programs, systems, machines, etc. What about the science in the way we work? We learn many archetype programs which we repeatedly replicate. What about programming? Can we do things differently? How can we do programming as a conscious activity?.
Duration : 60 minutes (including audience Q&A)
