PROGRAMMING HINTS
- Before writing the script, write out an
algorithm, or a simple block diagram of the steps you are trying to
accomplish.
- Document with comment statements what you
are doing.
- Author your script/program
- make it modular - in other words, create
subroutines to complete different tasks, rather than one monstrous
program/script that does it all
- Test it as it is built - test it
frequently!!! This makes debugging much, much easier.
