 +======Good Coding Practices======
 +
 +Here are some useful links and thoughts, please READ THEM before you start programming!
 +
 +  - Use semantic variable names
 +  - Annotate your code with lots of comments for ease of readability
 +  - Scalable code -- avoid repetitive motifs as far as possible
 +  - For loops are time-consuming in Matlab. Use vector/matrix manipulations as far as possible
 +  - Matlab is very forgiving about vector/matrix sizes. Often, variable sizes are expanded "automatically" depending on the context. This means you need to be very careful when assigning and reusing variables
 +  - See this for some do's and dont's: [[http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2012/01/13/best-practices-for-programming-matlab/|here]],  [[http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2006/04/12/matlab-programming-practices/|here]], [[http://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/2010/03/08/top-10-matlab-code-practices-that-make-me-cry/|Matlab coding practices that make me cry!]].
