Thinking Forth is a book about the philosophy of problem solving and
|
|
programming style, applied to the unique programming language Forth.
|
|
Published first in 1984, it could be among the timeless classics of
|
|
computer books, such as Fred Brooks' The Mythical Man-Month and Donald
|
|
Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming.
|
|
|
|
Many software engineering principles discussed here have been
|
|
rediscovered in eXtreme Programming, including (re)factoring,
|
|
modularity, bottom-up and incremental design. Here you'll find all of
|
|
those and more - such as the value of analysis and design - described in
|
|
Leo Brodie's down-to-earth, humorous style, with illustrations, code
|
|
examples, practical real life applications, illustrative cartoons, and
|
|
interviews with Forth's inventor, Charles H. Moore as well as other
|
|
Forth thinkers.
