I hear that all the time, but don't overestimate other people's ability at understanding your code. As the creator of your program, you've spent all your time reading and writing its code. Other people will see the code for the first time so it will be complicated for them to understand it, even with well-named variables and methods.
Agreed. IMO you should treat comments like "this is what the author of this code intended it to do the first time they wrote it." That's often different from what it actually did, not to mention what it actually does a year later after 5 changes.
I don't work alone. I'm on a team with 5 other programmers and we all follow this philosophy.
Thanks, looking forward to starting with it then.
Im not making a game, i think someone else mentioned it. i would like to at somepoint!
that place is great but since i dont understand these apis too well i need to take my time and learn exactly what each thing does etc...Stackoverflow is your friend
Is it too late to try and find software engineering internships for summer 2012?Yea it's too late seeing that the year is 2013. It's not too late for summer 2013 internships though.Ah... I was hoping for an internship with Garmin, but I didn't get it.
Ideally, you should write unit tests to minimize debugging.
