I call this "visual parsing": discerning the flow and relative importance of code from its shape. Engineering such code requires a certain amount of artifice to transform otherwise working code into working, readable code, making the extra step to leave visual cues for the user, not the compiler. http://www.developerfusion.com/column/5451/seven-pillars-of-pretty-code/ http://www.developerfusion.com/column/5451/seven-pillars-of-pretty-code/ Mon, 27 Feb 2006 20:53:00 GMT Perforce It takes more than being an excellent coder to succeed in delivering the next Killer App. The first step in moving to the next level is broadening your view of the software development environment. http://www.developerfusion.com/column/4047/pro-developer-optimize-your-view/ http://www.developerfusion.com/column/4047/pro-developer-optimize-your-view/ Sat, 20 Sep 2003 06:06:00 GMT Christopher Duncan Projects rarely fail because we lack the requisite technical skills.
