This is a kind of meta-question and I know my preferred answer already: "yes".

Have you read this: Loren's Blog: Best programming practice ?

    Accepted answer

    Yes - even contributed a comment!

    I am very much in agreement with the first comment on Loren's blog. Clarity before speed!

    I have also found the Software Carpentry site very useful for general insights into programming.

    Don't I get a pat on the head? Woof! Woof!

    Well done, Andrew! If you apply the knowledge of this blog, you get a lot of cookies and bones inherently. Think of all the hours of avoided debugging...
    Let me mention that I actually thought of pointing less experienced Matlab users to this valuable piece of information.
    Then names of the users, who post a comment there, are not really unknown also.

    I love Software Carpentry too.

    A very good answer! ;-)
    I got a message that Elige Grant has answered also, but unfortunately I cannot find the message anymore.

    I asked a question that was related to the #3 best practice in order to clear up some concept I had formed based on a memory from 6 years ago. Nothing that would add to the discussion here (should have been its' own question) so I removed it.

    Elige asked a question about row major vs column major order.

    I'm happy to give your preferred answer, because I found the list in that blog interesting, and well worth thinking about.
