One of the remarkable aspects of the AutoEdge application is that it is provided with an unusual amount of documentation. One of the categories of this documentation is the "Project" documentation, which covers programming and naming standards, UI guidelines, and an overall documentation of the structure. It is unlikely that everyone will agree with the choices made in this documentation, indeed, it seems apparent that the team that did the work learned from the experience and would do some things differently if they had to do the whole thing all over again. This node has been created in order to provide a place to exchange different points of view about these design documents.
From the introduction:
"This document outlines a set of Programming standards and naming conventions to be used on the OpenEdge Application Example application. These standards are a culmination of many other works including guidelines from education, John Sadd’s whitepapers and the Developers Guide."
The document is provided both in its original form and with a series of comments by Thomas Mercer-Hursh. The commented copy is complete in all respects so you do not need both copies, but if someone wishes to do a similar annotation, then they might want to start with a clean copy.
