Coding Guidelines

Here it is:
http://www.mono-project.com/Coding_Guidelines

These are the coding guidelines for the mono project. The ones i adopted some time ago. It seems they changed some stuff.

Now, they're recomending 8 space tabs and the usage of local variables like very_important_value, where i use 6 space tabs and veryImportantValue.

If you're learning how to program or don't have any standard adopted yet, go check that out and either adopt it as it is or adopt a modified version you like best. The important is to keep your code consistent.

Consistency is realy all that's important, i myself use 4 space tabs, veryImportantValue and

Code: Select all

if (a) 
{
	code ();
	code ();
}

is far neater IMO

and i'f i'm using nested parentheses i put spaces inside them.

Those suggestions are both lame and inconsistent.

mmm, I like that, differentiating between instance feilds and global fields. I've always done the thing making them look the same, proper differentiation could make them much easier to read.

I have so many bad habits , I'll keep this open the next time I'm doing a coding project.

How so? They are good habitual coding practices that gives code a standard list and makes it easy to read for other people. This is expecially important for high end coding for businesses, but can really help out for open sourcers too.

They also happen to mostly be the habits the best uni's have been teaching in thier comp sci classes for a while now.

We were told to adopt a style we were comfortable using.


I tend to use same line open braces for everything, though that tends to be the norm with Java.

I find that as long as your indenting is fine, it doesnt matter if it's anything above 2 spaces.

However a good standard I recommend people adopt is commenting code, far more useful....
