copied!<p>I think after a while it comes natural to you. When I was first getting serious about programming I was using a variety of languages - Java and C# especially. I found myself accidentally using certain Java features in C# and the other way around. Luckily for me a lot of their features are identical so it saved me there, but as I moved on this wasn't really a problem.</p> <p>Try spending a significant amount of time with each language. Sit down and read a good book (or a couple) on each language and get familiar with it. Ask your boss if you can spend most of your time on one section at a time. You will begin to catch more of your mistakes before you make them. For the ones you don't, this is why debuggers were created - a programmer's best friend. I have a terrible memory, and I mean TERRIBLE. You may think it makes programming harder for me but it really doesn't. After using a language for a significant amount of time the functions just seem to come to you.</p> <p>So try spending more time on each language instead of jumping around and trying to learn them all at once. The information will stick with you better and you will become a lot less flustered and confused when coding time comes around. Try doing things that help keep you focused while programming. If a lot of caffeine helps, go for it! If listening to your favorite music helps, go for it! (for me I can't concentrate whatsoever with the smallest sounds, but everyones different).</p> <p>Best of luck!</p>
