Coding Standards : A Must For Your Software Development Team by Manu Tripathi
Every programmer has her own style of coding like some use ‘inum’ for declaring an integer variable while some use ‘num_i’ for declaring the same. Like wise some programmers are lazy enough to add comments. These small drops when added together can create an ocean of confusion. ... Coding standard is establishing one single coding style (convention) for whole project or organization and making programmers strictly follow it. ... Few standards used worldwide Different computer languages need different coding style, but there are some basic points where we can discuss coding styles on.

History of the Computer - Codes for Data Transfer, Part 2 of 3 by Tony Stockill
COMPUTER CODES Various codes have been used in computing, EBCDIC, Fieldata etc., with various bit combinations, and total bits between 5 and 8. This often depended on which proprietary computer system you were using, and what type of device you were using. ... The American Standard Code for Information Interchange has 8 bits, and is used interchangeably on almost all systems today. ... The 'standard' came to be the 80-column card, with 12 rows for each character. ... The DAT (Digital Audio Tape) tapes used today use a different form of digital coding, but data codes are much the same.

Is Software Tester a Most Infamous Person in a Software Project Team? by Syed Feroz Zainvi
The fact that a software tester is a most infamous person in a software project team has some grounds underneath it. This is because a software tester usually speaks of the bugs in the developer’s code. For a developer to take this pin-pointing personally hurting is humane. ... A good tester will have the knowledge of coding language used in the project. ... So, if you are a software tester then understand the psychology of a developer, appreciate him at times and if you know coding then help him to debug and improve the code.

History of the Computer - Codes for Data Transfer, Part 3 of 3 by Tony Stockill
DATA TRANSMISSION CODES We have mentioned teletype machines, these were the backbone of operator communication with the computer, but were also used for remote input of data. A phone line could be used to link a storeman in the warehouse with the main computer using a modem... The data codes are of standard format. ... Once again the character set was restricted to the basic ASCII codes, and Control codes with printers from different manufacturers able to be used due to the standard codes (Interfaces were a different matter!) Contrast this with the laser or inkjet printer today,...

Dreamweaver vs FrontPage by Oleg Lazarenko
There are two major WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get) editors available for beginners. These are: Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver. So the question is which one is better?

Resistor Color Code Secrets by Jestine Yong
Understanding resistor color code is very important if you want to calculate the resistor values of a particular resistor. Each resistor color band represents a number where you could refer to code below to help you to find the standard resistor value. ... If you come across any wire wound resistor, there are numbers printed on the resistor and each coding represents a resistor value. ... The resistor coding act as a resistor calculator and with examples given, it would not take you a very long time to understand it.
