Naming Conventions
Capitialization and spacing styling in names.

Use bumpyCasing for variables and CamelCasing for task names.

• CamelCase—The practice of writing compound words or phrases where each word or abbreviation
begins with a capital letter. For example PrintUtility.
• bumpyCase—The same, but always begins with a lower letter. For example backgroundColor.

The following is a list of does and don'ts for naming:

• Do not use underscores.—Underscores waste space and do not provide any value in these
contexts. Readability can be achieved by using Bumpy Casing and Camel Casing.
• Consistent values and flags.—Always use lower case Boolean values "true" and "false".
Never deviate, stick to this method of defining a boolean state. This also applies to flags. Always use
"true" or "false" for Boolean variables, never a 0 or 1 or anything else.

• Variable names—
Don’t include numbers in variable names.
Avoid single character variable names. Never use i or x for example. Use a variable name that
provides some clue about the variable purpose.
• Flag and Script names—
Name flags with Is, Has, Can, Allows or Supports, like isAvailable, isNotAvailable,
hasBeenUpdated.
Name scripts with a noun, noun phrase or adjective like Utility or Helper for example
FileSaveHelper.atmx.
• Pre-fixed fields—Don’t prefix fields. For example, don’t use g_ or s_ or just _.
Exception is the letter v as a prefix in order to make finding variables easier.
• Verb-object naming—Also use verb-object pairs when naming scripts like
GetMostRecentVersion.
Name variables with a descriptive name like employeeFirstName or socialSecurityNumber.
