What Makes A Good Program by IG(op): 7:41pm On May 05, 2006
From a programmer's view what do you think makes a good program ?
Is it small size, small memory footprints, execution speed, small amount of dependencies or what ?

um, you forgot the most important. It should do what the Software specifications/requirments state. You should add easy maintainance and extensibility to that list.

The "or what ?" part of my statement means that the list is not complete. You can add anything you feel is important.

1) Abstraction

2) Easy to read

3) Encapsulation

4) Easy to maintain

5) Lightweight - Doesn't consume memory, be it on user or programmer side of things

6) One that has been thoroughly tested before hand-over
