Abstract

The purpose of this historical note is to describe the experiences which with hindsight seem to have influenced me when I wrote EWD 249 “Notes on Structured Programming” in 1969. The note is based on what I remember; I am sure my memory has been selective and hence don’t claim the objectivity of a professional historian.
