Topics: Programming : Methodologies
Programming methodologies is a complex field, with many methodologies, and names, and many goals and means to reach them: structured programming, programming by refinement, program analysis and verification, refactoring, and many more. Methodologies are developed to enhance one or more programming variable: programming, program speed, reliability, conformance to user/customer needs, reusability, code reuse and sharing, information hiding, etc. Some methodologies are more formal than others, some are embodied in formal tools, programs, etc. Many methodologies involve object-oriented programming.

Intentional Programming
Intentional Programming is a set of concepts to let software source code reflect the precise information, called intention, which programmers have in mind when conceiving their work.

Language Oriented Programming
Language Oriented Programming is a style of programming. Rather than solving problems in one general-purpose programming language, a programmer first makes one or more domain-specific programming languages for the problem, and then solves the problem in those languages.

Literate Programming
Literate Programming (LP) was invented by Dr. Donald Knuth in the 1980s. It views programming as a mainly literary activity, where the main task is to concentrate on explaining to humans what the computer must do, and the program is a secondary message embedded in a resulting documentation Web.

Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a quality control methodology used to manage processes, with these goals:Manage variations that can cause defects, which are defined as unacceptable variation from a mean or target.Systematically work toward managing variation to eliminate defects.Deliver high performance, reliability, and value to end customers.

Structured
Structured programming was first proposed in about 1970, by Professor Edsger Wybe Dijkstra. It has since become a major methodology, used commonly by most programmers, who may never even have heard the term.
