( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Thanks for sharing the cool link. I never really used TDD but anyway - some thoughts: Let's say you want to write a chess engine. You start with the board representation. This is quite tricky. Robert Hyatt needed years to understand how to accomplish this. Nowadays these techniques are less or more well know, but you still need a mistakeless representation. Isn't something like this a use case where you are lost without TDD?

My 2˘ about the other manias:

  1. Everything Has to be an Object: No
  2. Forcing Yourself to Use as Many Design Patterns As Possible: No
  3. Argue Over Code Formatting Styles: Yes. Always in style
  4. Programming has to be Beautiful: Yes. Even the dishes i cook are so (but perhaps my programs are not)
  5. Hire More Developers to do Pair Programming: Yes. I did just a handful of jobs using it but this were my best projects ever

Best regards, Karl

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
