General Coding Guidelines

Modular and Structured Programming

Avoid It works

Avoid Hero programmers

Code Readability vs Efficiency

Internal Documentation and External Documentation

Error handling

Standardize early - the effort to bring your old work into the standard will be too great otherwise. I will
clean the code later never works.

Guidelines vs Rules
Document every time you violate a standard. No standard is perfect for every application, but
failure to comply with your standards requires a comment
