Course code: ZEBRA-3
  • Years with company: less than one month
  • Years programming: 26

  • Test practice now: I like to write small code to test any functions first.
  • Target system: ?
  • Dev tools: Visual Studio, grep, beyond compare
  • Build time: 31-60 seconds
  • Coding standard: Most important rule: readability is more important than elegance.
