[conspire] No theory for software?

[Paul Zander]

Check out: http://www.beautifulsoftware.com/, especially the top article. Hey Programmers! We Got No Theory!

Chuck Connell opinions that there is a lack of scientific theory on writing software.  Many ideas have been proposed on how software "should" be developed.  Some of these might be valid.  However there is little data collection regarding what methods actually worked or didn't.

Provocative, but I tend to agree.

Paul
