in reply to How do you program (again)?

Perhaps you should check out Code Complete, which is an excellent introduction to precisely this probelm: how do you take a general idea and turn it into modules and routines. It is highly reccommended.



Code is (almost) always untested.

    I highly recommend, also: The Pragmatic Programmer. This book is less about programming idioms and more about philosophies and approaches. It was given to me when I finished my first software engineering job, and I wish I had it to start with. In fact I've bought copies of this book for brothers, friends that were interested in becoming programmers.
        Yes, it's a website created by the writers of the book. Seriously, "The pragmatic programmer" is one of the best methodology books out there, very worth the time to read it if you're not an expert.
      I cannot stress how much I love this book. I have one copy at the office and one at home.
        OK, OK, you convinced me :)
