Code Re-use or Build from scratch ?

You'll often here these terms in your programming life
- reuse is better
- code is made to be reused
- don't reuse other's code
- reuse of code breaks things

The above arguments each of them stand true in different scenarios. And this is the part most programmers miss. They hear one fact and applies it to all known problems in their life.

Whats the buzzword 'programming best-practices' all about?

This post is about what does the programming best practices buzz word means, and not a actual list of the best practices(which will surely differ language to language and scenario to scenario, but the core best-practices would be the same, few of which discussed here).

It's kind of hard to think the usefull-ness of this buzz-word when it is taught(ok not actually taught ;)) in collage. You need to work on some actual project, mission critical app, or any software that deals with money ;), to understand it in real sense. Until then it's just another `yea-i-know-it-well` kind of word in your head.

KhanAcademy Tips to get going effeciently

KhanAcademy created by Salman Khan has recently launched a biggest change in the history of educational websites. They have created a great platform for people/student/teacher to ease the process of learning and spreading knowledge. There are thousands of byte-sized videos and interactive items to enchance one's knowledge in particular field. The topics range from basic Mathematics to Biology, Finance, Physics and many more. I find the content really useful, and is helping in understanding the subject I feared - Mathematics ;)

I am Thankful

I have always been a serious procastinator and think I am not even capable of doing things/ideas that come to my mind. I have always been in pursuit of becoming a great programmer, web developer, javascript ninja, codechef'er, topcoder'er and all the top level adjectives you can think of in programming world. But recently, I discovered the most precious gift of all that GOD has bestowed me with and that is sound body and health.
