Re: [NetBehaviour] Is programming an art or a science? Part II.

nice image... i think of diego velazquez... he proved that his technic was more than technic... and i love the way he showed it in "las meninas". limits in science grow, as limits in art move... there is little agreement about what is science sometimes, and what is art, too... i can't stand warhol... for some people he is a big artist... to me is a fake... but i have to agree that his works have a power, and though those works have not the power i feel in matisse's, they have a certain power and that certain power make other people to feel art... (a thing has a certain power that is felt by one person... that's art, no matter how many people feels it) bergson said that intuition was essential to knowledge... before bergson, no way to consider intuition as a tool for knowing. or before freud, unconciousness did not exists... and we were wondering around willing to kill our father and fuck our mother without realising it, poor of us !! carlos castaneda does not understand some things that don juan teachs him because those teachings don't fit with ordinary reason... so... to answer that question, we need to know a definition to science and another one for art... and after it... i will have the tools even to defend that a friend's way of walking the streets is >>>> itself <<<<< a science, an art... james jwm-art net escribió: Programming is a horse in a jar driving a double decker bus around the craters of the moon, harvesting turnips.

In this part I want to explore an argument that says programming is an art. As I mentioned in Part I, this is a thought that I didn’t even entertain until I was a good number of years into my career as a programmer. At this point, maybe the argument has some validity. I’ll let each of you make your own decision… This topic came up recently as my oldest daughter started looking into colleges. She is a high school senior, due to graduate in just a few weeks. As we looked at colleges I noticed several schools giving Bachelor of Arts degrees for computer science majors. In fact, according to this page at Wikipedia, there are many different degrees that are all considered more or less the same. Anyway, seeing the Bachelor of Arts degree made me think about the argument of whether programming is an art or a science, so naturally I had to create a couple of blog entries about it! more http://wapurl.co.uk/?7Q2LMZO _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
