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 editor(s) well...it's functions can save a ton 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
-
- Top-down and bottom-up design
- Always add comments
- Line block brackets up vertically
- Happy balance between elegance/complexity and readability/maintainability
- 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
