Why morning? According to expert, our brain is fresh on that time, what you think?

Pretty interesting right? Lets hear some words from Phil Whelan for those beginner programmer and software user: "Keep everything simple. Write neat code. Comment everything. Ask for help." This is what he said when we ask him to talk a little bit about beginner programmer, and he also don't want to miss the message for software user, he said: "Feedback is vital.
