Maybe you should leave the coding tips to the people who actually know what they are talking about.

Programing isnt just the look of the code or the commenting it is how it will preform in real world applications such as on a server doing e comerce so you need good beta testers to test it (go rent some college kids to bang on it for a while) and to work all the kinks out of it and make it resistant to hackers!

Another tip. If you are working with subversion control. Do not commit a new version to the library if it does not compile and run without errors. The other programmers on your team just might find a rope and hang you from the coat rack in the morning.

I might start learning a language of programming and I am going to bookmark this for a guideline. Thanks to whoever sent this. Thanks :)

I find the most important tip is missing, in my humble opinion. and that would be: find the right language. it’s not as easy as asking somebody, because this is one of the most biased topics of them all. i would recomment C# because it’s portable to linux and the mac, and it’s rather easy, however c++ might be best for you, or just about anything, if you don’t want to get too deep into it, some modern variant of basic might be good for you (like realbasic). i hope that this will inspire some poeple to start programming!

You could know every bit of code in VB or whatever and be the WORST programmer on earth.

Its what you code
Its now HOW you code

If you code some unless junk nobody is gonna use it

But if you code somthing simple and very effective but your a novice at coding.

Everyone gonna use.

Also you have
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.

WHat TWO CAPITAL LETTERS?

Another thing to remember is to make something people might actually use! You’ll get a lot more feedback if its something useful. if its something no one has a use for, no one will have a reason to download it and your work will go to waste. Thats a big disappointment, and really will uninspire you
