It has been almost a month since I coded last time. My project manager got married and went to honeymoon leaving me with all the paperwork. Moreover I am refreshing my memory for the master program exam coming next week. In the end the closest I get to programming is designing a common interface for lithuanian/latvian project. That's all! Not a single line of code in a month :( As i said these activities take a lot of time so I thought about what can I do instead of programming while getting as much experience. Here is a list of things I did to replace programming while not actualy doing it:
- I started reading "Beautifull code" by Andy Oram and Greg Wilson. In general the book is not great but some examples of beautifull code are sure worthy few posts in the future
- I started reading more blogs about coding. This is like Playboy for me. Code examples help me forget about sex... I mean programming :)
- I am thinking about the best language there is for me. My criterias are: speed, readability, testability. I did programming in PHP, javascript, C#, bit of ruby, java and python. So far the best for readability and testability is javascript, C# is best at performance (except asp.net), but python has nice balance. If javascript could be compiled on request It would defenetely winn.
- I'm doing a research on how to write my own language parser (at first)
What would you do?
