Naming convention and other design guidelines

Common Terms

Two types of capitalization of words

• PascalCasing - used for all identifiers except parameter names, capitalizes the first character of each word (including acronyms over two letters in length).

• camelCasing - used only for parameter names, capitalizes the first character of each word except the first word.

• Hungarian notation - adds a prefix to an identifier which encodes the actual data type (eg. pThisIsAPointer)
