  Programming JohnSkeet

  • First, try not to take on more complexity than you need.
  • Next, learn just enough about the problem space so that you know more than your application's requirements.
  • 2 more annotations...
  • • Pick the right platforms and libraries. Yes, there are some crummy frameworks around. There are also some good ones.
    • None of this will make you a good developer. Tony's still likely to mis-spell his "main" method through force of habit. You're still going to get off by one errors. You're still going to forget to close database connections. But if you can at least get a handle on some of the complexity of software engineering, it's a start.
