Excerpt:

Programming is an art and science and like all art and science the only way to learn is from mistakes. I have made many… and I would like to share with you the mistakes that I have made over my journey with development.

These are some of the most common programming mistakes made by developers (including me) and how to avoid them (not listed in any specific order)

Can you imagine a program without comments. Just imagine how difficult it would be to read someone else’s code without comments.

Comments will help you a long way in reviewing your code.
