  2. Therefore, a processor is always executing a "structured program" in this sense, even if the instructions it reads from memory are not part of a structured program. However, authors usually credit the result to a 1966 paper by Böhm and Jacopini, possibly because Dijkstra cited this paper himself.

  3. May 9, 2024 · Edsger Dijkstra, Dutch computer scientist who developed the paradigm for writing computer programs called structured programming, in which programs were built out of modular units. He is also known for his 1959 solution to the problem of the shortest path between two nodes of a network.

  4. The concept of structured programming started in the late 1960’s with an article by Edsger Dijkstra. He proposed a “go to less” method of planning programming logic that eliminated the need for the branching category of control structures. The topic was debated for about 20 years.

  5. Mar 8, 2015 · Computer Scientist Edsger Dijkstra shaped his field from both an engineering and a theoretical perspective. Today, he is best known as the inventor of structured programming, a master of tongue-in-cheek commentary, and a former owner of a Volkswagen van dubbed “the Touring Machine.”

  6. Structured programming theorists gained a major ally in the 1970s after IBM researcher Harlan Mills applied his interpretation of structured programming theory to the development of an indexing system for The New York Times research file.

  7. Jan 2, 2019 · Another luminary in the structured programming world is Donald Knuth who wrote the multi-volume "The Art of Computer Programming". Later a book called "Structured Design" was written by Ed Yourdon and Larry Constantine, which many consider is structured programming, but it is not.
