Are you a beginner at coding? Do you make silly mistakes
while coding? Its ok if you do as, we all are humans and every human
makes mistakes in one or the other way. But, the wise thing is to
overcome those mistakes and make yourself an expert professional. So
what are those mistakes that every developer makes in initial phase
of his career? We have mentioned here 6 goofy mistakes that a
developer frequently makes and also how to overcome those mistakes.
So, go through them and see which are the ones you too make and
follow the steps given to avoid them in future.
- Syntax Errors - Most of the developers don’t remember the whole syntax. Sometimes they miss to write semi-colons, forget variables to declare, write “==” instead of “=” or sometimes there are typing mistakes. For this always check the syntax online if its correct or not. In case you have written by yourself and not copied from online then, debug the codes and verify that there are no syntax errors and if errors exist then you can always correct them by referring online. One of the best thing is to use a good IDE. It would detect around 60% of the syntax errors lessening your burden to worry about syntax errors.
- Bugs - Developers usually do the coding but in the end they forget to check for the bugs and deliver the project containing the bugs which is not at all a good sign of quality of work and commitment for them as well as for their company. The quality of work, accuracy, rapid or on time delivery of project by developers is what represents the company’s image. Developers are the ones who meet the commitments made by their companies to their clients and so they need to be particular in every way to avoid any unwanted circumstances that put the company’s image in leverage. In order to avoid such mistake always make a habit of re-checking your codes, compile them and correct the errors so that your project is bug free prior to the deadline of your project.
- Using Too Many CSS Files - Using too many CSS files can slow down the website or software. It doesn’t matter how much long are the CSS codes still, try to use one single file for it instead of using many small ones.
- Compatibility - Developers after coding when they run the project in their browser they think the project is working perfectly. But, what about other browsers? The codes you wrote are they compatible with other browsers? This is very much necessary to run and check the codes if they are working in each and every browser or the most commonly used ones. Also, as it is an era of mobile phones Website developers forget to write the codes in such a way that they are compatible with both, laptops or pcs and mobile phones that too with different screen sizes.
- Not Redirecting - When you are in the phase of developing the website or application many times it occurs that you make pages and then you have to delete their content or you can say there remain blank pages. These blank pages are really not good to appeal the users. They will decrease the traffic on the website or application. You need to do is either delete those pages or else redirect them to the new ones.
- Ignoring The Web Standards - Web standards are necessary in order to maintain the uniformity and to create the device independent websites and applications. Most of the young Web developers often don’t like to remember these standards and so they ignore them. Many forget or use inappropriate DOCTYPEs. They even use old HTML tags that too inappropriately. Please see you can’t ignore the web standards even if you don’t like them. They have been made for a reason so you need to accept them and follow.
End Of
The Line -
So the coding geeks, hope you have understood these
mistakes how to avoid them. Keep a list of your common errors.
Whenever your system shows error you can take out your list and check
if you have made anyone of those from the list. If it’s a new one
then simply add it to your list but when that error is already in
your list, put a checkmark so that you remember you made this mistake
previously. After few days or weeks while coding, you will remember
those mistakes in your mind which you made and you won’t repeat
them again. This will gradually diminish your mistakes. Also working
continuously may affect your concentration. So, instead of working
continuously take short breaks after every couple of hours
