Matthias, The computer science/programmer purist in me agrees with you. The pragmatist in me sees though, that "proper coding" is not only not a priority for many people, it doesn't even show up on the list of things that matter.
Should it? yes!

I am absolutely sure you are correct that this audience exists, I am equally sure it's growing, I expect someone will take care of them with spoonfuls of principles that they can eat for dessert, but I won't be me. The best I can hope for is that the person who delivers these bite-size pieces of principles will be informed by my ideas on how to get people to code properly. -- Matthias ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
