Development

• General Coding

  • Code “defensively”. Never say “that will never happen”, because it will.
  • “Trusted” code is always faster than “through the web” code. Skins and instance-space scripts are convenient, but judicious use of ModuleSecurity-enabled functions, External Methods, or Product code can speed up an application.
  • In extreme situations (read: almost never in the common case), it can be worthwhile to recode some of your application logic in C, away from Python entirely.
