    <p>There is only way I've found to get better at reading other peoples code and that is read other peoples code, when you find a method or language construct you don't understand look it up and play with it until you understand what is going on.</p> <p>Hungarian notation is terrible, very few people use it today, it's more of an in-joke among programmers.</p> <p>In fact the name hungarian notation is a joke itself as:</p> <blockquote> <p>"The term Hungarian notation is memorable for many people because the strings of unpronounceable consonants vaguely resemble the consonant-rich orthography of some Eastern European languages."</p> </blockquote> <p>From <a href="http://www.stateslab.org/HowToWriteUnmaintainableCode-Green00.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How To Write Unmaintainable Code</a></p> <blockquote> <p>"Hungarian Notation is the tactical nuclear weapon of source code obfuscation techniques; use it! Due to the sheer volume of source code contaminated by this idiom nothing can kill a maintenance engineer faster than a well planned Hungarian Notation attack."</p> </blockquote> <p>And the ever popular linus has a few words to say on the matter.</p> <blockquote> <p>"Encoding the type of a function into the name (so-called Hungarian notation) is brain damaged—the compiler knows the types anyway and can check those, and it only confuses the programmer."</p> <p>- <a href="http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Linus Torvalds</a></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> </p> <p>Taken from a comment by Tobias Langner.</p> <p>"For the differences between Apss Hungarian and Systems Hungarian see <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Wrong.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Joel on Software</a>".</p> <p>Joel on Software has tips on how to read other people code called <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000053.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Reading Code is Like Reading the Talmud</a>.</p>

    2. COThere is indeed no substitute for practice. After some time, one transitions from the state of just plain "this code hurts my eyes" to "this code hurts my eyes because..." This will be true of one's own code as much as that of others.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
