Boost Your Productivity: 6 Tips to Coding Faster

Tip 1

Use the same keyboard and mouse at work as you do at home.

Most organizations will buy you a mouse and keyboard of your liking if asked. If not bring your own into to work.

Tip 2

Concentrate on the essence, not the ceremony.

The more time you spend on the tool is less time you can devote to the problem.

Tip 3

In Windows, type the first part of the previous command and then hit F8. The shell will perform a backward search through previous commands that match the first part of what you’ve just typed.

Tip 4

When coding, always prefer the keyboard over the mouse.

Tip 5

Automate, automate, automate.

Tip 6

Use tools for other purposes than they are intended for. For example operating on large number of files can be a challenge is C#. Tools like Ant, NAnt, Rake are designed for this purpose.
