There are a few rules that you should always obey and a few things you should know when you are a programmer.
Things To Think About
#1) Most computer programmers look at programming like a game. And in a way, it kindof is. It is a game of logic that will never end. But there are serious things to think about too. Programming is NOT a challenge of time. Most programmers just rush through there work, and they never fully test it because they think that they know there stuff. That is one of the WORST mistakes that you could ever make. Never reliese a program without proper testing. You should always use your own program as if you where a normal user. Test every feature, image, and scrap of code that your program has. The beta stage is not complete until you have ran ALL of its code at least once in the intended environment.
Take your time and allways test even the most simple of things for bugs. You never know what kind of fatal bug could really mess up a machine that you are trying to help.
#2)There is a light side to programming, and there is a dark side. The light side, is the side that helps people. I am sure you know what the dark side is lol. Programmers must choose for themselves what they want to do, but you must understand that mal code is wrong.
You never know what it is like to be infected with malicious code, until it hits you.
#3)Always have fun with your code. If a project stops being fun, drop it. Chances are, if you have gotten board with a project, then you will not be able to do a good job, or support it like you should. Code things that you enjoy coding. If you want to code a game, try some simple things out first, before trying to jump into something big. Make sure that the code you are writing now, is going to be the code that you will want to write in the future.
Simple Rules That I Live By
#1)No Malware
#2)Test. Test, then test again!
#3)If you believe that it is bug free, test it more...
#4)There is always a solution to every problem. If something doest work one way, try to achieve it in another way.
