Application development, may it be a web application or a window application is not so hard as most people think about. Thanks to the new high level languages that almost reduced our hyper tension in remembering the complex syntax.

Regardless of the high level language you use for the programming (like Java , VB or Even C#) is not that much harder since most are the syntax are like in simple English. The only area where one has to concentrate while programming is Logic which plays the important role in application development.

Regardless of the application the main thing one has to do in programming is getting the data from the user , validates it, manipulate and store in the back end or fetch the data from the back end, manipulate and display it to the user. But the difference comes in what is the language and database one uses for programming and storing the data.

The complex things is that one has to understand which control is used to get the input from the user and the control used to display the output to the user.

once you have decided the controls then looks for the other components like dataset ,simple string or XMl that can be easily binded with the control you use. When you have decided that, then it is easy for you to get the input from the user or to display the output.

Then where comes the complex part?

It is how one validates the data and manipulates the data.

Before starting validation one must know what are the allowed values that can be used as the data for the given application. look out the method to avoid the unnecessary data. that too can be handled by lot of validator controls available.

one might be really scared about data manipulation.

But if you are prepared for what you have to do then manipulation will not be a problem at all.

Before starting the manipulation you confirm yourself what is the purpose of the manipulation and where it is going to be used. Check for the available algorithms and built in functions(almost all high level languages do have)for the manipulation you have to do. Also make sure from where you will get the data. Before sitting on your system to start the coding for manipulation you just try out a similar and simple manipulation in your notepad. It is worth trying since it will help you understand the problem and solution better, and to avoid last minute panic at the time of coding.

Always remember that, just a small change in the initial conditions can drastically change the long-term behavior of an application. So it is necessary to do lot of reviews and preparations before starting the code. Doing lot of paper work before coding is not the waste of time as many think. It usually helps us to understand the problem well.

As a famous proverb “well begun is half done” , lot of preparation is needed for beginning a project well. If we are clear about what we have to do and we can do that then programming will never be a tough task to do.

So don’t panic ,just prepare well and enjoy working.
