Modular programming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modular programming is a programming paradigm that was first presented by Information & Systems Institute, Inc. at the National Symposium on Modular Programming in 1968. Larry Constantine was a principal presenter and modular programming movement continued under Constantine's leadership until it was absorbed into Structured Design in 1974.

Constantine's modular programming and structured programming (Edsger Dijkstra et al) were similar disciplines but moved on separate tracks. According to Meilir Page-Jones, after the release of Structured Design in 1974, it and structured programming were considered to be on separate but compatible tracks.

Modularity in computer science and programming is a principle, whereas Modular Programming was "a set of techniques for achieving modularity" according to Page-Jones.
