For the past week , I have been creating integration tests on my task (create short code with sequence generators) . I also did some fixes on the UI and set textboxes to “ReadOnly” during view mode .
Also , excited to be part of the launching of Tong Hin’s App to be used in the real world soon . The more that I’ve worked with my supervisor , I found out that code is easy to write , but it’s challenging to write good code . Reminds me that if I want to improve as a programmer I need to go back to basics and develop good habits . Therefore , always remember to :-
- KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) , never write code that is too “clever” . Use meaningful variable names so that it’s easy to read and know exactly what is going on .
- Clean / Refactor code at all cost , making it more efficient and keep the result same at the end .
- Document your code , write comments on functions , variables , entity relationships etc to make it easier to understand when revisiting your code after months .
Will progress slowly by doing these mini steps . So that’s it , see you next week !
