I think for some reason computer programming is often miscategorized as a discipline to study or a class to take that's only relevant for aspiring software engineers. Today, I presented a position paper entitled “Programming Can Deepen Understanding Across Disciplines”. That's not accidental — I think that, even in as fast-moving a discipline as programming, it takes time for a book to establish itself as a classic; and the really good books are timeless.
