This article is divided into two chapters.

  • The first one, starting with section “Introduction to naming in programming” presents a review of scientific literature present on the topic. That section will deepen your understanding of the current body of knowledge on naming things.
  • The second chapter, starting with section “Guidelines for naming conventions in programming” presents actionable recommendations to improve your skills in choosing thoughtful class, function or variable names. If you’re looking for tips, go there.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

Oh, good idea ... any preference on the first? :-)

Maybe the first one, the one on keywords?
