00:00But really, the most important thing is, whatever you do, be consistent with it.

00:05So whatever you decide, you don't have to be consistent for the rest of your life, but

00:09at least for the duration of the project you're working on, or better off, pick a strategy,

00:15stick to it.

00:16You don't have to be in my strategy, there's a million and one strategies.

00:18I think my strategy works really well for me.

00:22If there's something specific that you feel that would make it more effective for you

00:25to change a few things, then by all means do that as long as you're consistent.

00:29Because really, in the end of the day, it's all about if I look at your code, I get the

00:34vibe and I get the way you're coding, then all the rest is easy.

00:38If you don't have a structured way and you don't have a style and you don't have a consistent

00:42way of doing things, it's very, very hard to follow after what you're doing.

00:46And obviously, if it's hard for me, it's hard for you as well, because after you have

00:49hundreds of lines of code, two years pass and you go back to the same application,

00:54this is going to look like gibberish.

00:55But if you keep on these basic structures, basic naming conventions, basic things that

00:59just keep things easier for you guys as well, you'll see that even programs you open up

01:03three years after, even if you don't like what you coded, it's going to be clear to

01:07you and you're going to see and you're going to understand what you wrote, which is obviously

01:09very important.

01:11So that's really everything I have to talk about naming conventions, and I know that

01:14it's a weird topic to start off with when we're talking about object-oriented programming.

01:19But the reason is because I feel very, very confident in the skill set that you guys

01:23developed in the developer basics already, and in the action script essentials.

01:29So I think that you already have a really, really nice tool set that you could already

01:33use these mythologies in your code already.
