    Does your company have an official Coding standard document or a Coding Conventions document or development best practices? if so, I would be interested in reading it. I am collecting as many of these documents as possible for a research project. Do you like the code conventions that you company uses?

      I don't think I've seen any coding conventions at my current job. At my last job, we had utterly terrible coding standards for VB6. Yes, that's right, for VB6.

        In my experience, most companies treat such documents as confidential for some reason.

            I wish I had one!! I started here 7.5 years ago and on the first day I hit the ground running. No coding standards in place but I had my own. Now we are doing security documentation for all of our apps and we need official coding standards. So I have to back-fill the documentation based on my own personal coding standards. That is the easy part but going through code reviews on every app in the joint could take years and most of the crap I have now is inherited code that is old but just works!! :((

              Coding Standard: yes Development Best Practices: yes Coding Conventions: no. This is usually part of Coding Standard. Anyway, such documents are usually IP (intellectual property) of the company. However, you can get tons of them on the web. People start from a template and customize it to meet company's requirements.

                At my last 2 companies, no for both of these. One was a software company (200+ developers, dozens of products), the current I'm doing proprietary development (~6 developers in the company).

                  I absolutely love them! :-D After all, I'm the only person in the company even remotely capable of coding anything, so any code that gets written here is crafted to whatever standard I feel like setting that day. It doesn't get much better... :rolleyes:

                    At my current company coding standards really means the following: 1. We put something on paper to make the boss happy. 2. We don't care about silly things like ANSI standards, just things like what should be in ALL CAPS. 3. People who have been here for a long time will not actually be held to these standards because heaven forbid they have to learn something new. 4. New people (like myself) will have every last character scrutinized by people who don't know what they are talking about...i.e. the DBA telling me I was using "too many comments" and it would "fill up the server" if I continued doing such a silly thing.

                      Hi, I thought I have a look to see what I could find on the web and found [this] one from Philips Healthcare (C# Coding Standard ©2009) that perhaps is not in the collection you have and I think is a nice example of such a document in a larger company.

                      With friendly greetings,:) Eric Goedhart

                        Oh yeah I remember that one, have you not dealt with that one yet? I love the word deprecated, this person seems like a good candidate.

                          I'm now fighting with that DBA over rewriting poorly written code. The explain plan on some of these queries look less complicated than bills in Congress, but I'm not supposed to touch that precious code she wrote years ago and make it better, even though it would free up memory resources (a never ending problem here) and that would make her life easier. Yeah, let's let her friend rewrite the code, although I had to explain to that developer what subqueries and outer joins are.:mad:
