This not a philosopy of progamming article or book.
But programming is based on languages (albeit not natural
ones) so it is good to have a command of the basic concepts.
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
