Software developers are pretty logical people so, not surprisingly, they often rely on logic-based mnemonics to remember things. Here’s a sampling of some approaches to programming mnemonics. As you might expect, some are pretty straightforward while others are more, um, creative. I recently looked around the web to see what kinds of mnemonics programmers are using to help them do their jobs. Not surprisingly, then, developers will often come up with their own unique methods to jog their memories and save having to look something up in documentation. Even the best developers can forget things like special variable names, command meanings, and the finer points of language-specific syntax no matter how many times they use them.
Software developers, regardless of age, have lots to learn and remember. For example, I still do the knuckle-thing to remind me of how many days are in a given month. Mnemonics have been proven to aid in memory and retention and I'm making increasing use of them. A mnemonic is any device that can help you retain information, by translating it into a form that’s simpler or easier to remember, like an acronym or a saying or even a song. Luckily, in addition to my wife and kids, I have mnemonics to help me remember things. Now that I’m middle aged, I’m finding that my memory, as expected, is starting to get worse.
