Naming Standards
Most Classics World applications are written in Microsoft Visual Basic. At Classics World, we have
adopted a set of naming conventions in our VB source code.
Naming standards improve development and maintenance effectiveness by:
- Improving readability of your program code
- Facilitating understanding by other team members
- Increasing program quality
- Enhancing opportunities for code reuse
