Coding Best Practices

 When it comes to coding, best practices is required to meet Industry Standards.

But, what are the best practices and why do you need one. Why to bother ?

Well, we have you covered on this. You see more than writing code, a programmer needs to remember that the code base will be accessed by multiple developers in the long run.

Associates will come and go. People change frequently, Right ! They change teams. They change companies. Now, developers who are newly assigned a project, think about them. If the code is clean, readable, with proper comments and the right documentation, how great would that be. Nothing can make their lives easier. This is one of the prime factor why coding best practices are followed. Also, writing the code again and again will only increase the size, but not be called efficient. Hence comes, code reusability.

To jot it down -

1. Maintability

2. Readability

3. Reusability

Now what are the best practices, well, hold on, here you have it below -

1. Proper commenting of code.

2. Proper variable and function names.

3. Proper documentation.

4. Code review with peers could get an optimised solution.

5. Keeping backup, versioning and code history.

6. Using helper methods which is modularising code as much possible.

7. With proper test classes or methods or test cases.
