The author's hardly a novice when it comes to software design though: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Software-Engineering-Ian-Sommerville...

The anaemic way would turn that 10,000 line file into something closer to 10,000 one-line files. To me, that is the very definition of spaghetti code. My biggest problem with the e…

It's all very pretty, but having looked at the source code for the page it's not really very semantic. If you're creating buttons and using DIVs and not one BUTTON, you've complete…
