Programming rules (even in non web development)

• 1- Aim at most simple readable solution
• • - No tricky code (even if it works): un-readable => un-maintainable => un-reliable
  • - KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
  • • (Writing simple and readable code may not be simple!)

• 2- Prefer simple standard code rather than using existing libraries
• • Standard will be maintained through time, libraries may not
  • Libraries add extra cost (bandwith, latency, maintainance, bugs, etc.)

• 3- But prefer existing libraries to complex home made tricks
• • Do not re-invent the wheel for real projects (only to learn)
