If you are familliar with unix philosophy of programming ( http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html) this is a very good way to remind yourself to program in the same simple and effective way. Do NOT use args as an excuse to make function "wannabe smart" and only complicate it with unrelated "feature" bloat. *Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new features.* -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
