I think most people do it... I do, but I use lowercase for the prefix. >> Thanks, >> MD > > Maybe prefix with MD ? Yeah, for my personal contributions, some components, etc. I did that (and still do). 2010/7/22 Guillermo Martínez Jiménez <gmarti...@burdjia.com>: > > I do use descriptive names, of course.

I use prefix "u" just only examples.

The Pascal programmers has dislike "_" character, maybe just for constants, I think. > In the fpGUI project I now prefix all units with 'fpg_' and all > classes start with 'Tfpg' - I indeed ran into unit or class name > conflicts with FPC units. That's what I was talking about! I'd be surprised if this was not happening... even after the explanation of Marco van de Voort. > I suppose this is where languages like Java > resolved this via directory and file namespaces - though I am not a > fan of the directory namespace thing, but it seems to work for them. Yes, work for them... but the namespaces is very large in Java or C#. I like use, some times, the sintaxe: unit.function. Because of name conflicts of functions or prefix (also) the functions (besides classes), to not use name of unit as a prefix. CONCLUSION: I'm not a newbie programmer, even though my question says otherwise. I just like to know how the best programmers work in your daily. Some times I find some ideas to making my work better. Thanks all.
