Happy New year 2017 and Seasons greetings to everyone. May god bless you with success and whatever you want this year. This is festival time and I have a couple of friends asking me what to gift to a programmer friend or colleague? This is a common confusion you face when buying a gift for tech geeks, software engineers, programmers , and web developers. Everybody wants that their gift is well received and make the person excited and happy. Being a Java programmer myself, I am going to suggest a couple of things which I have recently bought for my programmer friends, colleagues, and relatives. If you are in doubt, you can take some inspiration from my list.

Sometimes, It's all up to you how you configure tabs in your code editor and other times just the mercy of the tool you don't know how to configure e.g. VI in UNIX. I only realize the problem when I found too many difference in a file while check-in into SVN. Apparently, other people was using different indentation (spaces) and that's why the file was showing so many differences when I reformatted them in Eclipse. This happens to many programmers, some pay attention, some didn't and go ahead with the check-in the code, only to revert it back later. There is no clear guideline upon which one is better and whether a programmer should use tabs or spaces, even the Clean Code doesn't help here. Read more �
