Programming Assignment Guide For CS Students

Posted by timothy on from the don't-do-this dept.

kennelbound writes "For those students just getting started in a Computer Science degree or a career in software development, this guide has been written to help you understand what NOT to do when coding a project. Those with a little more experience should still read it to get a good chuckle (and hopefully the mistakes stated within will not seem too familiar!)"

    This may sound a bit odd, but I went back to my home country Iran for 2 years as a teenager. This is when I had my first insight into computer programming.

    At the time I along with most students didnt have a computer, not did I have access to one properly.

    I did my first BASIC coding on paper. Looking back, working that way worked extremely well.

    Since then I always do some sort of rudimentary pseudo code on paper before implementing using a computer.

    note: I never finished high school and I haven't been to university
