Programmer’s OCD

Hey!

I think I have Programmer’s OCD!

Usually, when I’m programming something, I write very neat and I’m very OCD-like about the way my source code is presented.

For example, I write IF statements like this:

if(condition)
{
    // code
}

I think its good to make clean source code and to create DocBlocks to ensure that if you come back to your code in 5 years, you know exactly what it does and what purpose each Class and Method served.

Do you have programmer’s OCD? How do you ensure that your code is understandable by others and understandable in the future? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

Loving Life

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say, life is great. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved so far and how amazing it is to be at the position I am today.

I have an awesome car, lovely sunshine, fantastic family and my beautiful girlfriend Jenn. She lights up my life every day. Follow her on Twitter. I truly love her :).

I’m just finishing off year 2 of uni and I can’t wait to start my placement year!

Hope you have an amazing sunny day spent with your friends and family :)

Moving forward into industry

Hey everybody,

Yes, its a life post. On this Blog I try to do Life and Geek posts and sometimes reblog some modified Micra pictures I come across as that is another one of my interests.

Life at the moment is busy! I’ve been working hard to finish my university work at the moment in order to start my industrial placement.

On 17th May, I have my final university hand-in and year 2 will be affectively over! Its gone so quickly but I’ve learned so much!

Today, I’ve confirmed my placement year. For my placement year (May ‘13 to May ‘14), I’ll be working at Trakware Solutions Ltd as a Junior Web Developer. This should give me lots of valuable experience in the working side of software development and give me an opportunity to really see how I work in the office environment with co-workers as a part of a team. I believe that this will put me in good stead for working on my final year project.

I’m also working on client projects alongside my daily work at Trakware and I’ll be working on my own personal project which is a very large system! (Request an invite for beta)

So, life is going to be busy for a while but I will learn a lot and hopefully grow as a developer.

For future developments for my own projects, I will be using the Laravel framework.

Thanks for reading, I’ll leave you with this productivity quote:

Have a good weekend.
