<p>Stub for Programming Pearls — Bentley&#039;s algorithmic craft column</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Programming Pearls&#039;&#039;&#039; is a long-running column by [[Jon Bentley]] in the &#039;&#039;Communications of the ACM&#039;&#039;, later collected into two books. The column treats algorithmic design as a craft discipline, emphasizing empirical measurement, iterative refinement, and the life-cycle cost of software. Its methodology — profiling before optimizing, designing by measurement, and building little languages — anticipated modern algorithm engineering and influenced a generation of programmers who view algorithms as systems rather than isolated formulas.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Computer Science]]<br /> [[Category:Education]]<br /> [[Category:Systems]]</div>
