Line 2: [[Image:The Elements of Programming Style.jpg\|200px\|thumb\|Cover of the second edition]] '''''The Elements of Programming Style''''', by [[Brian W. Kernighan]] and [[P. J. Plauger]], is a study of [[programming style]], advocating the notion that computer programs should be written not only to satisfy the compiler or personal programming "style", but also for "readability" by humans, specifically [[software maintenance]] engineers, [[programmers]] and [[technical writers]]. The book pays explicit homage, in title and tone, to ''[[The Elements of Style]]'', by [[William Strunk Jr.\|Strunk]] & [[E. B. White\|White]] and considered a practical template promoting [[Edsger Dijkstra\|Edsger Dijkstra's]] [[structured programming]] discussions.
