Programming by example (PBE) and programming by demonstration (PBD) represent a departure from traditional programming methodology. Why should someone need to learn a complicated syntax to train a computer to perform an action? The idea is to instruct the computer to complete the action and let tools create the necessary syntax. This book discusses several different approaches in a range of industries where the technology is applicable and currently in use. Although the book is mostly theoretical in nature, that is probably the intention of PBE anyway to remove the complexity from the creation of computer applications. Recommended for university libraries.
