Online programming

Abstract

When the transition has been made from offline to online programming, there are a number of changes in the working conditions noted. These changes in the environment make necessary corresponding changes in the processes related to producing and checking out programs. In the main, it is not the programming language itself which must be changed to provide a facility for the online user; it is the system surrounding the programming language. In this paper the online environment and its effect on programming are discussed. © 1966, ACM. All rights reserved.
