Getting Real: Chapter 10

What does getting real chapter 10 talks about? hmm.. All about code! I, being an Information Systems student, code is 60% of my college life. Every single day of my life, I encounter those codes. Is it really scary? well, for those cool hardcore people it isn’t, but for me??? No comment! hahahaha. Chapter 10 talks about coding your application. What really for me is the main idea here is “Write just the code you need and no more. Your app will be leaner and healthier as a result. ” Just write codes that would make your life easier. As a programmer, after coding it doesn’t mean that everything is finish. You have to also maintain your application, so as a clever programmer, you should only code or include those features that are relevant. Easier for coding, since it is less, and lesser maintainance. Code only the important ones, chop the whole apple and might as well leave the sweetest part behind. It will make your application much easier to code, leaner, easier to handle. It doesn’t mean that when you develope your applications, the longer and the harder codes you use the more useful and efficient your app will be. Everything depends on the features since it is the only thing your market will acquire. Not those bunch of codes.Get it? =) Next, as a programmer, look for a programming language that would make you comfortable to work with, you shuold also feel happiness when you code and lastly dont just lock yourself to the wants and needs of your customers, go into RSS feeds, go into the internet. I promise you at the end of the day developing your application, it may not be the best but it may be one of the big head competitors.
