Top-down and bottom-up design

At about the time Logo was developed, an ideology of top-down programming as the only "allowed" technique became popular among adult computer scientists: design first, top-down; only then, start coding. Logo's programming style was and is proudly antithetical to such disciplines [Harvey 1991]. Sherry Turkle and Seymour Papert introduced the use of the French word bricolage (tinkering) to label the Logo style of work, in which children experiment freely until they obtain a result that seems worth preserving as a procedure [Turkle and Papert 1990].

My high school teacher taught me top-down programming style, while my father taught me bottom-up programming style.
