Title style, sentence style . . . camel style!

[scarlettina]

I learned something new today. I've been in technology nearly 20 years, and I'd never heard the term "camel style" before. It refers to a term that has an uppercase letter in the middle, for example, a file name where two words are pushed together and a letter upper-cased to make it easy to distinguish the second word, for example: userStudies.doc.

I never heard of it, either, but I am enchanted.

aka CamelCase

It's a standard method of writing software variables, or at least it used to be.

Like I said, I've worked in tech for years and I've seen it before. I'd just never knew there was a name for it. I am just tickled.

Yep, that's the name I know it by, and it's pretty common (still recommended in ObjectiveC, which tends to have more descriptive method names than most languages.)

I'm more familiar with calling it camel case, or perhaps CamelCase.

[lnhammer]

I've also seen it as camel-case, in parallel with upper-case and lower-case. (And also, possibly inevitably, CamelCase.)

The term I'm more familiar with is camel-caps.
