My days with Android: RelativeLayout Examples

A Human Touch

A Piece of Advice before we start.....

I know that people don't like advices, but still its a free one for all those who want to receive may take it, while others may move on.

I'm not a voracious reader, but once while I was going through a book I came across a sentence that says 'A good repairmen is the one who can understand the feelings of the engine'. It simply means that, just by hearing the sound of the engine the repair-person comes to know about the problem that the engine has. Thereafter he concentrates on only the crucial aspect of the engine that requires care. This is exactly the place where 'The Human Touch' lies.

I thought of applying the same idea with the programming stuff, and found out that It really worked. The basic fundamental quality that I think a good programmer should have is the 'Ability to Communicate' with the program snippets. The programmer should be able to understand what the code has to say. Its definitely a two-way communication. Unless and until the programmer asks questions to the program how can he/she expect to receive an answer. Once the gap between the programmer and the program is bridged with the help of this human aspect called Feelings, the code automatically starts understanding the programmer and responds to whatever the programmer questions.

So, keep speaking to the code that you are writing.
Good Luck...

Lets try out some examples.
