Instead, game design has emerged as its own distinct discipline. I think for some reason computer programming is often miscategorized as a discipline to study or a class to take that's only relevant for aspiring software engineers. The capabilities and productivity of "professional" programmers vary widely. A perfect programmer knows everything there is to know about everything: this is nirvana: it allows us to solve any problem perfectly. Programming is unfortunately such a general term these days that I often find myself cringing at its use in broader contexts. O Programs work the first time they run. Programming can mean a number of. But it by no means suggests that in order to be a great designer you must also be a great programmer. The discipline of computre programming has made considerable progress over the years. If DH were an accepted discipline, the recognition of programming activities or contributions to databases as scholarly accomplishment would not be such a big deal. · Programming is an engineering discipline. As I recently noted, I'm making some shifts in my work so that I can focus more on some of these questions surrounding how do we create learning environments for non-programmers to learn programming. We might talk about reaching as wide an audience as possible, or about laws requiring accessible websites. O They run forever after, even after changing. However, accessibility is only part of the story.
