Beginners
There have been many times when I have gone into somebody else’s code and been unable to work on it before having to decipher it. Doing that sucks, takes way too much time, and is unnecessary. If you are going to code something, do it right, and create clean, easy-to-read valid code. I suspect that too many people who shouldn’t be writing code are trying to write it, or are using a WYSIWYG editor.
Now, I will admit that I do not always write the best code code, I constantly go back into something I wrote earlier and wonder what the hell I was thinking when I first wrote it, but it’s usualy a hell of a lot cleaner than some code out there.
I would suggest viewing the source code on a lot of sites, see how other people write. Also, read blogs and websites that help you with things like that, like here.
My apologies, I am finished with this tirade, and now I feel better.
