description: Thinking Forth applies a philosophy of problem solving and programming style to the unique programming language Forth. Published first in 1984 it could be among the timeless classics of computer books such as Fred Brooks' The Mythical Man-Month and Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. Many software engineering principles discussed here have been rediscovered in eXtreme Programming including (re)factoring modularity bottom-up and incremental design. Here you'll find all of those and more such as the value of analysis and design described in Leo Brodie's down-to-earth humorous style with illustrations code examples practical real life applications illustrative cartoons and interviews with Forth's inventor Charles H. Moore as well as other Forth thinkers.
