Coding Style
For a beginner like me certain articles really helped. One of them would be ‘Coding Style‘ by Dionyziz. This article deals with a detailed description of why coding style is very important to a developer and how these can be used to improve the readability of the code. Since i have never worked in a real professional group, i haven’t yet felt the need of a coding style. Anyway from now on i may be forced to develop an own coding style focusing on readability and usability. He has also outlined some styles which can be used in very popular procedure oriented languages like PHP, Python, C, C++, Java and Javascript. However a structured presentation of CSS and XHTML is also beneficial.

Regrettably, for many cloud computing platforms the car example you give doesn’t compute. You may notice a vehicle as a means to an end, and all of you value is getting there, then you need an application platform like Google’s AppEngine. Here you simply add an practical application, and the rest is managed. If however you run ec2, you’re no longer concerning about hardware, but still about instances and virtual servers. All of them run OS’s that need to be maintained; it’s like taking taxi’s but still having to know everything about the taxi’s engines. I predict that later on we’ll move towards AppEngine like versions or ‘managed clouds’.
