Coding Tutorial

Notes

uses for commenting--best practices
debugging--comment out lines and then reactivate to find bugs
documenting--use comments to provide explanations of the code logic or variables
documentary commenting is useful...
to others if multiple people work on the code
to you if you come back to a project after time has passed
keep header comments brief; use these for versioning and general descriptions of purpose
use in-line (aka interlinear) comments sparingly--best for "notes to self" and generally you should remove these when the project is complete.
use for brief explanations of functions--place right before the function initialization line
debugging comments should also be removed when the project is complete

HTML comment format:
CSS comment format: /*comments here--single line or multiline*/
JavaScript comment format: //single line comments here; /*multi-line comments here*/
