- Program Development by Stepwise Refinement
By Niklaus Wirth; Communications of the ACM, April 1971. Programming is usually taught by examples.

Unfortunately, they are too often selected with the prime intent to demonstrate what a computer can do. Instead, a main criterion for selection should be their suitability to exhibit certain widely applicable techniques. [ACM]
