Re: How to go from simple working code to professional code

It isn't exactly analogous, but it is sort of like you are playing the piano, able to carry the melody, but you want to improve, play the other parts, and generally make better music.

With that analogy, part of the answer is obvious. Practice, practice, practice. Or in this case, spend time working on it, thinking about it, etc. You can study other code, ask for feedback on yours, and ask questions about the topic in general.

I assume that you are posting because you already have some piece of code that you feel should have come out better, but you don't really know how else to do it. Try posting the problem statement and your solution. If you already know of alternatives, describe or implement them too, and let us answer some of your questions or comment on the tradeoffs.

To echo comments from others. Simple can actually be a high compliment in engineering and design terms. True, it can also be a criticism, depending on how it is stated. But simple and working is always preferable to sophisticated and buggy.
