Programming: Programming Tool Kit: The new approach that uses technology to cut your effort in half

Killer Codes, Step By Step Guide to Code Faster, Easier and With Less Thinking

Coding is like a game of chess, only grander, and with chances of undoing moves. Like chess, coding relies on a select set of moves (think statements and functions) and a problem that has to be resolved by playing those moves until the goal is reached.

For new programmers the task of understanding the problem, breaking it down, creating a strategic coding plan, and then playing the statements to process the goal can become daunting. Then again, every programmer must learn to create clean and easily readable code. This guide will give you various tools, devices, and tips that will help you write better and faster code.

Such code is also faster to debug. Time and logic have produced various tried and tested methods of organizing a code. Though accomplished programmers create their own unique methodologies for writing code, new programmers are well advised to begin with some of the more streamlined methodologies.

It is a reasonable process, but not always completely sequential. As you gain experience, and as you apply what is learned in these pages, you will then develop your own programming personality. When that happens, you will be able to spend less time on your code, deliver results faster, gain better reviews and feedback from the clients, and build a more robust portfolio.

In Killer Codes, Step By Step Guide to Code Faster, Easier and With Less Thinking, you will learn: The best practices for writing code that is easier for others to read The best practices for debugging code - including 9 rules for debugging To recognize the most common coding blunders and how to avoid the most fatal mistakes The two kinds of tools that every programmer/coder must have Jeff Atwood's Bill of Rights for programmers

Quality programming always requires focused mental concentration. The programmer must ensure that his environment is free from controllable interruptions. He or she must make sure that the environment itself is free from anything that distracts from the immediate task at hand.

While this may seem minor to some, those who have read this book will understand the intensity of thought and discipline required of anyone who seeks to become an exceptional programmer.

After all, that is your ambition isn't it? Killer Codes is written for the beginner and the intermediate programmer, with the intent of helping to develop the mental disciplines and work habits essential to success. It is basic, readable, and eminently practical.

Only then will you begin to discover all the neglected disciplines that have been holding you back. Only then will you establish the internal routines of a programmer, even before you write coding routines for your clients.

Glad I didn't pay for this book

Since there were no page numbers and I was at the end in 10 minutes, I'm guessing this was a very short book. It contains nothing that anyone with common sense would not already know.
