This is it today.
That’s Leslie Lamport’s feeling, Microsoft director of research, and I share his point of view. We learn analysis, thinking, logic at school before learning a language and programming, so why a student, when he develops for himself or a company, forgets everything and goes to program before writing on paper things?
A developer save time to analyse a project or application first. I like image of an architect, it sums up it well. Before building a house, he has a plan, and does not put his brick first. He respects it or not, but he has a good idea of final things. It must be the same with developing programs.
Developers, analyse it, think it, and then program it! And you will have a good code.
