Nick Halstead has posted a few more of his programming tips in the series he's running - three more to be exact dealing with readable code, aggregation, and code structure tips.

• Programming Tips #3 "Divide, Indent, Comment and Name": "We all started programming at some point in our life, some of us on our own, some under guidance of teachers, parents, but even now there are few tips, that should be known by everyone."
• Programming Tips #4 "Aggregation over Inheritance": "My favourite rule is to favour aggregation over inheritance."
• Programming Tips #5 "Readable Code": "It's easier to debug, and later to maintain. Make it readable by using descriptive identifiers, properly tabbing the code, and breaking down the application into functional and reusable pieces."
