Hi this is Palak Sharma
I am an engineering student, I am learning lots of programming languages here. Python Programming is my favorite programming language. We have taken a project for making Software Application and we are planning for it and working on every possible aspect. One of my friend suggest me that before developing or starting Software or Web application I should read about Pseudocode, and he also insure me that it will help me to take rough idea for developing any kind of application doesn't matter which programming language you are going to use. I am very confused now. What should I do, Does Pseudocode really helpful for Programming.
Kindly give your valuable suggestions on this. Will be a great support.
Thanks

Pseudocode can be helpful to write some small algorithm without cryptic syntax of languages, generally for small pieces of code.
I prefer mastering some analyze methods.
Learn one or more analyze methods, E.W. Djikstra/N. Wirth Structured Programming/top-Down method/Stepwize Refinement is a good start.
