Like: # views.py some_object.items.create(sku='123abc') # Is there a place / way that this c...

Hi.Is there a way to tell JAXB to not remove underscores when creating getter/setter names from XML Schema? Reason: this causes loss of information and it is harder to trip between XML and Java; e.g. in written communications where one participant might be confused about "different names". Example: NR_ROR should not become getNRROR but...
Hi, One thing that constantly causing me headache in programming is when I don't have any naming-convention in a domain where I have to deal with a lot elements. It is clearly what is happening to me when using UI designers such as Windows Forms designer. Everytime I start a new project I am trying to reinvent a "seem-strong" naming co...
I'm struggling with a terminological conflict and can't figure out a good resolution. Maybe someone else has had this problem. I'm rebuilding an existing WinForms application to use WPF.

It would hold a string and have characters (numeric, or decimal point) added and removed from the right end. Ignore the case of negative numbers for simplicity.

My website deals with pictures that users upload. I'm kind of conflicted on what my picture filename should consist of. I'm worried about scalability simply and possibly security?

Java snippet: private int x; public int setX(int x) { this.x = x; } Is there something similar in C++? If not, what the best practice is for naming function parameters? ...
