Good Programming - Crafting the code

 

Coding is an art. It has to be "Crafted with Passion".

Good Programming stems from your attitude. It lies in understanding the approach and always wanting to write the best software you can. Professional programmers take responsibility for the code they write. Programs should be written well, well structured and easy to read. It is not just about laziness, ignorance or lack of time but is related to skills, intelligence, aptitude and passion for the job

"Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute"
Abelson & Sussman-
