Are there any best practices for organization of large codes?

Question

Aside from what's necessary to make the code work, as well as good commenting and variable naming, I'm curious if there are any good general guidelines to grouping your code for optimal readability and flow. Please share your thoughts!

Answer 1

The are, in fact a lot. Design patterns is the first thing to look at, try them lessons. Code conventions is the second thing. It is like a set of rules for code writing. Try to Google it, there is a lot of them, depending on language and framework. One example would be PSR-2

Answer 12

I always try to tag my closing curly braces with comments so that I know exactly what they are closing. I saw this in a book long ago and I thought it was brilliant. I wish that IDEs would do it automatically. Like the end of my classes would go:.

} // end if/else
} // end updated
} // end monster class

This kind of turns c family code into HTML like code. It's great.
