Pseudocode is important stuff. When you\'re first learning how to program in any language, it seems logical to jump right in and start writing code. But in reality that\'s the worst possible way to write software. Unless you have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish, you\'ll never be able to write clear and concise code you can trust to function properly.

Definitely, especially for large projects. Also, this works especially well with PHP, where you will find much of your pseudocode is used in some capacity of php (GET, FROM, FOR, NEXT, WHERE etc)

I\'ll have to try that on my next PHP Script <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

using pseudocode is a matter of opinion, to be honest. alot of experienced coders do not write pseudocode, while others do. I, myself, have never wrote one line of pseudocode in the past 3 years (jumping languages, and if you count HTML, it would be 7 years ;p) that I have been into programming. While others, swear by it for everything they do.
