[SOLVED] Naming conventions

Post by anmldr » Fri Jan 16, 2015 6:02 pm

Just starting in the Create it with LiveCode course although I have been occasionally playing around with LiveCode for about 2 years.

What naming conventions do some of you use for variables, parameters, etc. For example, using "g" as the first letter of a global variable?

I want to start the course and my use of LiveCode in using commonly recognized and used naming conventions. I realize that this is not necessary but I would like to start out with good habits.

Thanks,
Linda

The meat of my suggestion would be to read this article.
