Trouble Shooting:

• Start with the basics...like power, network, etc.

General:

• Always query before running modification command(s)
• Backup or already have a backup before modifying files
• Learn your edit well...it's function can save a lot of time

Development:

Naming
• Avoid spaces.
• Use camelCase.
• Name common items with the common word starting each item.
• Name same item, but numbered with enough padding to sort correctly. ex: if going to at least 10 use 01-10 instead of 1-10.
• Name date by number not name and most general to specific. So they sort correctly. ex: 20161231 instead of Dec31-2016, etc.
• Name using noun first then verb. ex: logCreate, logList, etc.

Coding
• Always add comments
• Line block brackets up vertically
• Happy balance between complexity and readability
• Happy balance between too long and too short variable naming
• Pick a style and stay consistent
• Learn your debugging tool(s)...they can save a ton of time
