'''Program Design Language''' (or '''PDL''', for short) is a method for designing and documenting methods and procedures in software. It is related to [[pseudocode]], but unlike pseudocode, it is written in plain language without any terms that could suggest the use of any programming language or library.<br />
<br />
PDL was originally developed by the company Caine, Farber & Gordon and has been modified substantially since they published their initial paper on it in 1975. It has been described in some detail by [[Steve McConnell]] in his book ''[[Code Complete]]''.<br />
