11 ;;Quote: the hard part of programming is constructing the interlocking concepts that make a software entity
11+;;Quote: software is interlocking concepts for data sets, data relations, algorithms, and functions
11 ;;Quote: software is especially complex because no two parts are alike while physical systems contain many repeated components
16 ;;Quote: the desktop metaphor is inaccurate because a desktop provides random access to scores of pages; really an airplane-seat
17? ;;Quote: the hardest part of building software is deciding what to build; the client does not know what he wants
17+;;Quote: requirement specification requires a working system or prototype
18 ;;Quote: a software system should be incrementally grown by top-down development with program stubs
abboRJ3_1990 ;;Quote: high-level languages free programs from their accidental complexity but not their essential complexity
hareD1_1992 ;;Quote: the main problem is building the conceptual construct underlying a system; it becomes hard to comprehend, communicate, and visualize
