Creating useful software is a major activity of many scientists. Nevertheless, software development in an academic setting is often unsystematic, which can lead to problems associated with maintenance and long-term availibility. This article describes 12 techniques that facilitate a quick start into software engineering. We expect this toolbox to be useful for many bioinformatics programming projects and to the training of scientific programmers.
