Coding Quickly; How?
patio11: I measure my production time in days, not hours, so any tips on just how to "code quicker"?Code less.That isn't being flippant.  Code you don't write is code you don't have to debug.  It is code you don't have to integrate with your other functions.  It is code you don't have to refactor.  It is code that requires no maintenance.I got the first version of my application up, running, and out the door in 8 days at a "normal work week" rate.  I'm not a particularly good programmer, I just cut the feature set for 1.0 to the bone.  Since then it has been three years now of iterations on the existing codebase that typically add a just a few hundred lines at a time.I also rely -- heavily -- on libraries and frameworks that do stuff better than I could, and on Google for code references whenever I'm doing something which is new to me.  (It took me probably 3 years until I could write Swing apps without a browser open.  By that standard you'd think I'd be able to do it for Rails by now... but not quite, unless it is a pretty basic app.)
