Touch Typing for a Developer?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 3, 2003 @11:55AM from the beware-the-tunnel-of-carpal dept.

The Whinger asks: "I've been programming in various forms for about 20 years now, and I still can't type. I keep thinking, "I must learn to touch type". Unfortunately, two finger typing, 'touch typing tutorial' into your search engine of choice throws back a minefield of hits. Of course, picking something to try does not guarantee success. Does touch typing help with programming? Do you know of any tutorials that you would recommend or avoid? I can't spend the next forty years two finger typing ;)."

Just upgrade to Visual Studio by Anonymous Coward · 2003-09-03 11:57 · Score: 0, Flamebait

With Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, you won't have to worry about typing much. It automatically completes variable names, handles indentation, and can even generation much code automatically using wizards. And, of course, thats not even mentioning the obvious advantages of the .NET framework. It makes touch-typing obsolete!
