I'm designing a web site navigation hierarchy. It's a tree of nodes. Nodes represent web pages. Some nodes on the tree are special. I need a name for them. There are multiple such nodes. Each is the "root" of a sub-tree with pages that have a distinct logo, style sheet, or layout. Think of different departments. What should I name...
Hi, I'd be leading a new project soon. And I've been pondering over what are the basic infrastructure for a software project. These are the stuff that I think every project should have: -Coding style conventions -Naming conventions -Standard project directory structure(eg maven standard dir layout, etc) -Project management and issue...
I am wondering what is considered as best practice when it comes to assemblies and releases. I would like to be able to reference multiple versions of the same library - solution contains multiple projects that depend on different versions of a commonutils.dll library we build ourselves. As all dependencies are copied to the bin/debug o...

There are two popular naming conventions: vc90/win64/debug/foo.dll foo-vc90-win64-debug.dll Please discuss the problems/benefits associated with either approach. I am also wondering if it is possible to expose meta-data (i.e. compiler, platform, build-type) in approach #1 in an easy to use, cross-platform manner. ...
What are some good package naming conventions for domain specific object models. For example, say you have a Person.java POJO, would you put it in a mydomain.model or mydomain.entity or mydomain.om (object model) package. The idea is to separate the MVC model objects from the domain object model. Our MVC based application has a model...

What is the best practice for naming UI controls (textboxes, drop-downs, etc.) on forms and reports for reference in the code-behind pages? I develop a lot of reports and forms in my office.

I know what Hungarian refers to - giving information about a variable, parameter, or type as a prefix to its name. Everyone seems to be rabidly against it, even though in some cases it seems to be a good idea. If I feel that useful information is being imparted, why shouldn't I put it right there where it's available? See also: Do peopl...
I'm writing a desktop application that communicates with a web service. Would you name all web-service functions that that fetch data LoadXXXX, since they take a while to execute. Or would you use GetXXXX, for instance when getting just a single object. ...
Does anyone have a good article or good advice for class naming for n-tier web applications? I'm used to the layout that LLBLGen gives when it generates objects based on a database structure, which might generate the following class files for a given "User" table in the database: /EntityClasses/UserEntity.vb /CollectionClasses/UserColl...
Should it be /about_us or /about-us? From usability point of view, I personally think /about-us is much better for end-user yet Google and most other websites (and javascript frameworks) use underscore naming pattern. Is it just matter of style? Are there any compatibility issues with dashes? ...

I just found myself creating a class called "InstructionBuilderFactoryMapFactory". That's 4 "pattern suffixes" on one class. It immediately reminded me of this: http://www.jroller.com/landers/entry/the_design_pattern_facade_pattern Is this a design smell? Should I impose a limit on this number? I know some programmers have similar...
I've been arguing with my coworkers about Pascal casing (upper camel case) vs. lower CamelCasing. They are used to lower camel casing for everything from table names in SQL databases to property naming in C# code but I like Pascal casing better, lower camel casing for variables and Pascal casing for properties: string firstName; public ...
Even nowadays I often see underscores in Java variables and methods, an example are member variables (like "m_count" or "_count"). As far as I remember, to use underscores in these cases is called bad style by Sun. The only place they should be used is in constants (like in "public final static int IS_OKAY = 1;"), because constants shou...
It seems that there is no real pattern to the way functions are named, str_replace, strrpos, strip_tags, stripslashes are just some. Why is this the case? EDIT - this wasn't meant as a "troll" type post - just something that I think everytime I use the language! ...
