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!)"

    If you try to keep your program correct as it grows, it will be too easy to pinpoint a new bug. Only cowards do that. A real programmer writes the entire program and then digests it whole like a boa constrictor. Looking for a bug hidden in the last 10,000 lines is exciting but if there are only 10 or 20 lines, well, what fun is there in that?

    Was this written by someone at Microsoft? What a waste of time

    There was one language missing on the list: C+-. This is /. curriculum, so go get some some info about it. A slightly different explanation of it also exists.
