Best Practices

We're still on the hunt for articles on best practices for software development. Any topic you wish - as long as they are solid, clear guidelines, patterns and practices that will make your code safe, error free, fast and most importantly, easy for the next dev that has to muck in your code. Submit your hard-earned wisdom and the best of the best will be moved into the new Best Practices section.

Chris on Holiday

Chris is out of the office and off to sunny Costa Rica for the next week. We sent him down with a full supply of maple syrup and Tim Tams, but the Wi-Fi can be a bit dodgy so we're not sure how well he'll make it. He returns next Monday, and it's business as usual around here otherwise, but go easy on us and the hamsters this week. Cheers!
