What does SGDD mean in DEVELOPMENT

Style Guide Driven Development (SGDD) is an software development practice which focuses on incorporating the design, user experience and code style conventions into one formalized document called a style guide.

SGDD helps developers by creating an organized and consistent coding environment that can be easily shared between coders — making collaboration easier. By providing a standardized format for coding, it also makes it easier for developers to work together without having to relearn each other's styles every time they work together.

Examples of conventions include styling elements like capitalization, spacing between lines, punctuation, and readability guidelines such as avoiding nested structures or unnecessary variables. These are designed to make sure that all the code looks similar no matter who wrote it.

Setting up a style guide requires careful planning and research. A good rule of thumb when setting up your own guide is to look at what other people have done before you and decide what works best for you and your team. You should also consider the language you will be using when creating your own rules — keeping them as clear as possible so that everyone understands the same thing from reading your rules. After agreeing on a list of general rules for coding, each individual developer should provide input on specific details such as variable or function names or class structure that may apply to their specific role in the development process.
