A collection of rules to ensure success in your development career.

• If you are making a code change, you need to understand the full scope of that change (the full method, whatever the scope is).
• private stuff gets camelCase, public stuff (things you can see outside of scope) gets PascalCase
• DRY means don't repeat yourself - don't duplicate code and if you must then comment clearly that you are doing so in both places.
• Before doing something twice, think about if you have to do it a 3rd time (or more.) if so, automate it!
