ober Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Comments, spacing, indents, and readable code. Variables should be descriptive and defined if they're meaning is not readily apparent. Classes should be well documented and snippets should explain complex loops and calls.

Guest askjames01 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 what do you mean by readable codes ober?is this mean simple logic codes and not complicated one?

ober Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 No, I mean proper spacing, good variable names, using switches instead of multiple nested ifs.... you can tell when someone doesn't know the language because they use very long methods to accomplish something.

ober Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm not sure what you mean. The same practices should be true for small and large projects. The only thing I would suggest for bigger projects (and something I should be doing at work) is to create an external document that describes your application.
