Coding Standards

Using programming standards can be pretty important when you developing a gropu poject. If you are making one just alone, then it is fine to use whatever style or standard you want. Using comments, staying with a programming style you started when you started the project. Are all things you have to keep with, as the project progresses. Having a project where there is all different kinds of standards and styles would get quite messy.

It's essential if you want to do a professional job, a program which somebody else can maintain if you fall under a bus.

I am not a professional programmer but I have learned basic HTML and for a while could program most of it from memory. I learned some of it in school and some of it I taught myself but mostly the two seemed pretty consistent. But I got a new design program to work on a business page and it keeps kicking back my code because it's invalid. Like instead of putting or at the beginning of a paragraph or line of text it wants me to put at the end of the line. Essentially, that's the same code, just backward from how I learned it. Not probably the in depth programming conversation you were looking for but it's what I thought of when I read this post.

yes coding standard is very important to anyone who work for a large team and it will easy to understand the code if ever someone need to troubleshoot it.
