Code Complete talks about this.
And many other things.
The main obstacle is getting people to actually READ it. (And after
that, to try to APPLY it.)
Cheers,

Thank you Charlie. That is the idea I am trying to get across. Do you
have any suggestions about how to get developers to see the benefits of
writing programs this way? Any specific books, techniques, etc.? Any
pitfalls to be aware of?
Thanks,
Steve

There is nothing so practical as a good theory. Comments are by me,
not Fidelity Investments, its subsidiaries or affiliates.

data
Not really. I believe it is intended to mean data driven programming
as
Jeremy mentioned earlier. To me, data driven programming means use
lotsa
lookup tables, the contents of which are user tweakable. As simple as
it
sounds, it can be an effective technique to let you quickly adapt a
system
as requirements evolve - without code changes.
Having found this hammer early in my programming career, I find a great
many nails. Early days in any new design are spent setting up a lookup
table table, along with utility routines for reporting, validation, UI
picking values (one or several), etc.
It may be a use case, but I don't think this is quite the same thing as
the
subject of this thread which, as Uri says, is a general approach to
analysis.

The difference is that I am trying to find a quote that focuses on
the
benefits of using data in a special way, as control data, to
determine
the specific execution path taken by the code.
um, isn't this the scientific method?
