• Save your code regularly! You don’t know when the power goes out. Imagine if you working for a long time (say 3 hours) without saving the code, you will lose several hours worth of code.
• Write down appropriate comments near the coding wherever needed. Comments are very important and useful. If another person happens to go through your code, it will be very easy for him to understand if you provide comments. It will be very helpful for you too, if you visit that code 1 or 2 years later.
• Your code should be clean and simple. Separate your code into chunks, and use line breaks where you can.
• Test your code frequently. When you have completed a simple part of code, test it and then proceed to the next part. Don’t wait until you have written five hundred lines of code before testing? If any error occurs, you have to look through all those lines to trace out the error.
• Back up your code. Because your system may crash or affected by virus or the file may get corrupted. So take a backup every night after a day of coding and always be in the safer side.
