Coding Standards and Best Practices - Keep per Peri

It is very important for a development team to have a coding standard that reflects the current best practices. With it, the team can greatly improve the readability and maintainability of their code and ease their code review. To some degree, the reusability of the code can increase too.

A coding standard may include naming conventions, documentation conventions, and programming practices. This document is entitled “Coding Standard”, but it isn’t really a complete standard for coding, rather than a guideline. It is open to be modified and enhanced by people who are willing contribute their knowledge and expertise. Moreover, there are an number of book chapters and online publications discussing those topics in great detail.
