'''''How to Design Programs''''' ('''''HtDP''''') is a textbook by [[Matthias Felleisen]], [[Robert Bruce Findler]], [[Matthew Flatt]] and [[Shriram Krishnamurthi]] on the systematic design of [[computer programs]] published in 2001 by [[MIT Press]]. The book introduces the concept of a ''design recipe'', a six-step process for creating programs from the problem statement. While the book was originally used in conjunction with the '''TeachScheme!''' project (now [[ProgramByDesign]]), it has been adopted at a number of colleges and universities for the teaching of program design principles.
