The third part discusses the future challenges in computer programming and what must be done to meet these challenges successfully. In his Introduction, the editor writes: It comes as a distinct shock to the uninitiated that, for an activity that accounts for the expenditure of several billion dollars a year in the United States alone, the management of computer programming is still something of a black art. . . . Fortunately, the authors of this collection of enquiries and explorations have distilled experience into analysis and analysis into conviction, They have been willing to put their convictions on the record with what proof they had, and, on the whole, they have done it well.
