Rant: Professional Identifier Names

Thu 8 May 2008, 09:29 AM

Topic: Software Development

So generally I do not care for searchdomino tips. They tend to be a little basic, and the newsletters tend to be a little bloated with vendor speak. Despite that I was reading a recent submission ( a pretty intestesting article) when i get to the line:

On Error Goto oops

Can we not call identifiers what they are?!? This drives me just a little nuts. Im not suggesting that we adopt full hungarian, but if its an errorhandler lets call it that instead of oops.

By the way, If you happen to have seen my name in another recent searchdomino article, please do not allow that to influence your opinion of this post. The fact that they used both my name and my quote has no bearing whatsoever on my opinions.

er.... mostly. :)
