Re: OT: Seven Ineffective Coding Habits of Many Programmers
HI Andre, Still waiting for your book - sent you at least 3 emails to be put on the mail list. Also the course you were gonna do before I think about MVC in livecode - is this all going to be rolled into this?

I watched some of this and he talked about a couple of my personal pet peeeves. The first is excessive commenting, and while I'm all in favor of commenting code, sometimes it tends to the ridiculous. I agree with Henney's remark that good code is self-descriptive, and LC does that better than anything else. I've seen 20 lines of comment above a 10-line handler, sometimes set off in a fancy ascii rectangle. Each to his own, I guess. It's mildly annoying but I can ignore it. The one the bothers me more though is what he calls "LegoNaming." I remember being irritated when MC introduced "blendLevel" because it was too long to type quickly, and at the time was one of the longest entries in the dictionary. I got over that pretty quick when we started to see things like windowBoundingRect and fullScreenMode. But some of the new commands and messages are approaching unusability because they are impossible to remember and hard to type correctly, and usually require a dictionary lookup/copy/paste. We've got iphoneGetNotificationBadgeValue and AVPlayerItemFailedToPlayToEndTimeNotification. But the top entry in this category is mergBLEPeripheralDiscoverDescriptorsForCharacteristic. That's not a term, it's a sentence. C'mon guys. I understand how descriptive, specific names that indicate precise usage may be desirable, but if the term runs off the right edge of the dictionary it's gone too far. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Watching Levure videos, contemplating more collaborative coding, I found this. ITT 2016 - Kevlin Henney - Seven Ineffective Coding Habits of Many Programmers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsHMHukIlJY 45 minutes long. If you need a break, it is both instructive and humorous I often struggle with naming conventions. This sheds so much light on the subject.
