Introduction
Congratulations on your recent
appointment. As project leader for the development of the new grading system
for a local school, you have a big task ahead of you. Partnered to work with you
are some of the best programmers in the company. They are all versed in a
variety of programming languages.
However, they've never had to work
together or share code with others. The grading system is going to require a
great deal of sharing of routines and logic. It's also going to require some
interactive debugging as the project takes shape. Unfortunately, your company
has never adopted any programming standards. While each of these programmers
writes a terrific final product, they all have their own individual preferences
and techniques.
Your job as project leader is to get all
of these programmers on the same wavelength. In order to do this, you will have
to do some background research about programming standards and summarize it in a
form that will be usable by your team members.
