Zusammenfassung:Professional programmers need common coding conventions to assure co-operation and a degree of quality of the software. Novice programmers, however, easily forget issues of programming style in their programming coursework. In particular with large classes, students may pass several courses without learning elements of programming style. This is often due to shortage of tutor work to give students thorough feedback on their coursework. Incorporating issues of style into programming courses is too often neglected and students are hoped to learn these issues by themselves.
