"Informal" programming
This page is a placeholder, or under current development; it is here principally to establish the logical framework of the site. The material on this page is correct, but incomplete.
Much of our programming work is "informal" in the sense that - simply for reasons of practicality - it does not respect the well-established paradigms of software engineering. Some sources refer to end-user programming to contrast this with programming by developers. Here we discuss parameters of such informal programming and how to avoid a number of potential problems.
