education in software engineering (I)

Before starting to teach programming to the students, coding standards should be explained at  the programming related courses.

Programming looks  like a brush  in the painting. Patterns, designs could be changed one developer to another. In my opinion some conventions  could be same in programming for each developer. When you look at the source code, the source code seems to be any poem of the E.E. Cummings, It is not a creative thinking; It could be reflection of the selfishness :)
