Description
Drawing Programs: The Theory and Practice of Schematic Functional Programming is a comprehensive guide to a diagrammatic approach to programming. It introduces a unique tool for programmers who prefer working with diagrams rather than text, allowing for a simple and coherent description of the process of modelling with computers. The book provides a gradual introduction to the tool, starting with examples, small projects, and exercises, alongside an explanation of its underlying computational theory. This approach enables readers to understand both the practical application and the theoretical foundations of the tool. The authors also offer insights into accessing the tool's source code, examples, and how it can be extended. By learning about this schematic functional programming language, readers will gain a solid understanding of robust program design principles and a path towards error-free programming.
