Quotations
5 ;;Quote: the design for a million line system would take a year to read; too bulky for practical use
10 ;;Quote: a functionally strong module performs only one generic function, like square root; highly reusable
11 ;;Quote: module communication by data coupling allows the definition of reusable black boxes; pass actual data or its location
14 ;;Quote: outside-in design means starting with its effect on users; e.g., write tutorials and user guides first
15 ;;Quote: data-driven design starts with the input data; avoids the unlimited wish list of functional design
15 ;;Quote: if design from inside out, i.e., internals first, get a 'queen bee' system; one that requires a support team of systems programmers
15 ;;Quote: a functional design leads to a virtually unlimited wish list of features
16 ;;Quote: Jackson's goal is a design methodology so simple that ordinary people can use it successfully
18? ;;Quote: data-driven design from output to input often works better then working from front to back
19 ;;Quote: design a survey by first agreeing on what the result tabulations should look like
22 ;;Quote: typeset drafts appear to get more thorough reviews then rough drafts
29 ;;Quote: in a hybrid graphics language, the graphics provide the overview and context for textual details; e.g., flow charting
34 ;;Quote: to describe data, need to account for an entity's membership in innumerable sets
34+;;Quote: to describe data, must represent multiple relationships between objects
