yo real programmers dont get confused?

[MrPolite]

well, I do programming for fun. At least for now. when I go to college and I graduate and blah blah.....and I start working, is it gunno be really different for me? because right now when I'm making a program that's like over 10000 lines, it gets kinda confusng and hard to manage am I too dumb or is it because of lack of experience?

bigger apps get confusing for all programmers. The trick is with experience to learn how to better organize your code and to always use comments. dont be afraid to write comments. Write 50 lines of comments for line of code if you need to.

With .Net, I now use the #region #endregion tags to seperate my code up into sections. It really helps out because it keeps it organized. I put all the class variables (controls, globals) in one section along with seperating the methods, constructors, events, properties, etc. You can even break those sections down into sub sections. I love the collapsable code.

Well don't worry about it really. Once you hit the real world you will only work with the program for about 5 months. then you will spend the rest of a year or so surfing the internet and answering the few questions people have about your app and just giving them bogus answers

Amen to the comments regard, It really does help alot and everything you name, variables, formes etc.. make sure the names are descriptive and make sense.

Plus the more you work with the code the more you start to recognize it.

sounds fun

do many people work for themselves? (that is not working with a company, and making a program single handeddddly)?
Can you earn enough money that way?

hey ,
from my view piont , if you are skilled enough to work with a company , that helps you in developing your programming skills till you get expert .

I hate two things about programming:
1. being forced to switch to a language that you dont like, by your company
2. not getting paid enough



I hope none of them would happen to me I'll try hard!!!
btw I just realized that this post shouldnt be here
