How do you name your spaces?

Me too. If I get the chance. As a contractor I either have to be "whiter than white" (which is why I follow the M$ way whenever possible) or have to adhere to local convention, regardless of how silly it might be :sigh:

Since the source code for our projects is proprietary, we omit the company identification from the namespace name. For .NET, our namespaces are _Assembly_{.Package} where _Assembly_ is the assembly name and the {.Package} suffix is only used where an assembly contains more than one significant body of code. For C++ we usually just use the global namespace. I did have one C++ project where a combination of namespace's and a templated base class really improved the readability of a pile of related classes.

Last time I needed a namespace, I happened to play a game. My new commander had just arrived at my base and yelled "Forces of chaos, bow to me!" So my new namespace became FoC, which is very accurate for most software projects.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

"CONSIDER using plural namespace names where appropriate." Never pluralize.

And still a bad idea.

And it's wrong, well, at least when it comes to standards. The ISO standard says Pluralize.

Some pretty good reasons to singularize[^] :)

The Joint Technical Committee (ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32) that develops the SQL Standard has specified that one should follow ISO/IEC_11179[^] for naming. Which states Singular for Columns and Plural for Tables. The point of following standards, even if you don't like the aesthetics, is (amongst others) to minimize ambiguity. The concept behind it is as simple as it gets. A row is singular. A collection of rows is plural. So reason one in your link is just conceptually wrong. Yes, an applebag can contain apples but you don't name the bag "Apple", you name it "Bag". The content that you search are Apples. But I guess that's why you see so many tables following the pattern "tblCustomer". X| And the rest is just opinions. As far as I'm concerned you can do as you want. But if you choose one way, you should stick to it. That's much more important

I worked for a company that did something similar. They also had code that carried over from the last company. What happened was the dev team split from the web team into two separate companies. So they kept all their code. They ended up with two namespaces. Not that you're going to clone yourself in this case, but I'm just pointing out it's possible you'd want to have Sander.SomethingElse later on.

Well, I have a good friend who's first name is also Sander. If we ever wrote software together we'd have Sander.Rossel and Sander.HisLastName or maybe Sander.JointForces ;p
