naming-conventions

I'm not an English speaker, and I'm not very good at English. I'm self thought. I have not worked together with others on a common codebase. I don't have any friends who program. I don't work with other programmers (at least nobody who cares about these things). I guess this might explain some of my problems in finding good unambiguous class names. I have tried to find some sort of "Programmers dictionary" containing words often used and their meanings. When reading others code I have to look up words quite often, and as many use abbreviations this poses an additional challenge. My very

Is there a recommended naming convention for key names within a const object in es6? I haven't been able to find a resource which states if they should be uppercase or lowercase. const COLOR_CODES = { BLUE: 1, RED: 1 }; vs const COLOR_CODES = { blue: 1, red: 1 }; The examples from this MDN article show both styles, so maybe both are acceptable. According to Google it would be all caps. Speaking from experience, most of the other programming languages have all caps so I would suggest using that. Use NAMES_LIKE_THIS for constant values. Use @const to indicate a constant (non-overwritable)

I remember hearing you should name your controllers, models and views in a special way. Either singular or plural. I don't remember which ones to name what though, and i can't find anything about it in the doc. I'm guessing it's like this: Controllers are plural Views are plural Models are singular Am i on the right track? I understand it's just a convention and you don't have to follow them, but i still want to know what the right way is. In ASP.NET MVC, I use the convention you mentioned above, expect for Views, which are mixed. If I have a view that displays multiple "things", such as a

When I read code that uses Select I think "select-all-where". When I read code that uses Map I think "this-to-that" or "apply-to-all". I can't be the only person that feels the name Select is confusing. Map It's really identical to map from functional languages. The reason it's named Select is that it's designed to be used as a part of LINQ which uses SQL-like keywords. from item in collection where item.Value == someValue select item.Name is translated to: collection.Where(item => item.Value == someValue) .Select(item => item.Name) it would be a little inconsistent if Select was named Map ;

In generally I'm using the standard naming stated in PEP-8 for variables. Like: delete_projects connect_server However sometimes I can't find any good name and the name just extend to a long one: project_name_to_be_deleted I could use pr_nm_del , but this makes the code unreadable. I'm really suffering finding good variable names for functions. Whenever I begin to write a new function I just spent time to find a good variable name. Is there any standard for choosing certain abbreviations for well known variable names like, delete,project,configuration, etc. ? How do you choose short but good

I've been looking at the sample code and sometimes Apple names xib files ClassNameView and sometimes ClassNameViewController . The ClassName is always a UIViewController or UITableViewController , which had me wonder what convention to use when naming a xib. I would think View as it's not really the ViewController , but curious on what the convention is or at least what your naming conventions are for xibs. I use ClassNameView since the xib represents the view, not the view controller. I don't think there is a generally accepted convention. CocoaTouch supports both conventions, with a
