This is the bit that most VB6 developers will be interested in. It is based
on many years in the industry and in part on Steve McConnell's excellent
book 'Code
Complete' which is published by Microsoft Press.
This section briefly lays out what is commonly recognized to be good
practice. None of this stuff will win a Nobel prize, but it may just make your
code maintainable 4 weeks from now.
The common perception about Maintenance is that it begins at some point after
the project has gone to testing. This is not true. Maintenance begins the very
first time that you change a piece of code that was not written today.
Making code more maintainable actually makes your own job easier. If you want
a hard, dull life become a Traffic Cop.
