First of all, I am semi-retired, after 25+ years in the trenches. Second, I am an opponent of Hungarien (Simonyi) notation. I invented my own school of notation, which I call (in homage to the aforementioned) Post-Hungarian. In a nutshell this means: frm_MyForm --> MyForm_frm. And so on for all objects in said project. Why adopt this convention? Because all the objects related to, let's say, Customer, are all sorted naturally, I can find everything related to Customer easy as pie. At the end of the day, I am most interested in retrieving said objects. I go further. I have suffixes including "_qs", "qu", "qd" and "qi" and these mean "query select", "query update", "query delete" and "query insert"/ The point being that the prefix "Customer..." sorts the people according to what they affect, and from there I can work out what is destined to do something to the underlying data. Granted, this is only my opinion on how objects ought to be named. Smarter people on this list might come up with superior schemes, A.
