I'd also add that braces, parentheses, or anything that comes in pairs, should be inserted at the same time. ie, immediately type your opening and closing braces and then move your insertion point in between them. If you're putting existing code in new braces, you still try to do this as a single

Katherine, from what I understand you are vision-impaired? I can understand that braces would quickly become a problem for you. Maybe you could look into a language like F# which uses tabs for nesting rather than braces. There would be a learning curve but that may be worthwhile in the long term. O

Sounds like you have too much nesting. If you have more than a couple of levels maybe try separating it out into new methods. Hard to tell without seeing the code. On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 10:37 AM, Katherine Moss wrote: > Hello all, > Does anyone know any methods I could use when practicing progr
