Programming Guideline Checklist

This is a quick checklist of the Dev Programming Guidelines page; go there for details.

Code Formatting

 * Check for whitespace:
 * Four spaces for indentation. No tabs.
 * No trailing whitespace.
 * Spaces around parenthesis and operators. A space between if and the starting parens, spaces between method arg parens, etc.  Do not use spaces around hash indexes, however.
 * Suggested line break length at 120 characters.
 * Do not use extraneous parentheses, including on methods that don't need it or on postfix conditionals.
 * Use postfix conditionals -- ie, do_something if $something;
 * Use human logic -- unless instead of if not.
 * Don't quote hash literals -- $HASH{DATA}, not $HASH{'DATA'}
 * Commenting: have you commented appropriately?

DW Code Specific Conventions

 * Use LJ::HOME over $ENV{LJHOME}
 * Use LJ::is_enabled over $LJ::DISABLED
 * Use $u->get_cap over LJ::get_cap($u, ...) (or add an accessor in LJ::User)
 * English stripping is required for pages!
 * New files need appropriate header/credit
