I programmed a dog into this live video feed. Can you find him? Go ahead… I’ll give you a couple of seconds to look for him. I have a top five list submitted by Raleigh, full of tips to help you become a good Programmer.
- Save your code often! You know what it’s like to be working on something only to have the power go out. Imagine losing several hours’ worth of code.
- Back up your code. This is pretty much the same reason as #1. I backup every night after a day of coding, just as an extra layer of protection.
- Write proper comments everywhere. Comments are very important. These are useful. WHat if you don’t look at the code for a year? These comments will be helpful later.
- Keep your code clean. Separate your code into chunks, and use line breaks where you can.
- Test your code often. Whenever you have made a simple part of code, test it. WHy wait until you’ve written four hundred lines of code before testing? If something doesn’t work… you’ll have to wade through all those lines to find your error.
If you have a top five list related to anything to do with “Geekery” or even something Non-Techie… send them to me! I’m always ready to pass on your knowledge to others.
