Stanford study shows success of different programming styles in CS class
What was interesting is that the higher-performing group (Alpha) was stuck less often that the lower-performing group (Gamma). Is this the next programming motto after "Don't Repeat Yourself"?<p>Don't Get Stuck!<p>Now how does one avoid getting stuck while programming? I still get stuck a lot, but these really helped:<p>- Test what you write as quickly as you can.<p>- Hold it in your head! Or you won't have a clue what all your code, together, is doing.<p>- To get started, ask yourself, what is the simplest thing that could possibly work?
