On a recent post on the cfc-dev list Chris Scott stated:
variable names start lowercase with each word starting upper: userName
class names (cfc names) start uppercase: SecurityService.cfc or User.cfc
instances of classes are variables, so they follow the variable naming convention: user is an instance of User.cfc
methods in cfcs, start lowercase: user.getName()
I’m not sure where the community stands on this, but cf cfunctions (reserved keywords) should start uppercase: ArrayAppend()
I post this to support the conventions he mentions as “standard CF conventions” and I hope others practice them as well (I know alot do, but for those that don’t, please consider them).
