Naming conventions and code standards help developers understand projects quickly.
Clear names make code easier to read, maintain, and share.
Why Naming Conventions Matter
Good naming:
- Reduces confusion
- Improves teamwork
- Prevents mistakes
File Naming Best Practices
Use simple and clear names:
- Use lowercase letters
- Use hyphens instead of spaces
- Avoid special characters
These names are easy to read and work well on all systems.
Avoid These File Names
Do not use:
- Spaces in file names
- Capital letters
- Long and unclear names
These names cause confusion and errors in real projects.
Consistent Code Formatting
Keep indentation and spacing consistent across all files.
This makes HTML easier to scan and debug.
Use Meaningful IDs and Classes
Names should describe purpose, not appearance.
These names explain what each section represents.
Avoid Random or Short Names
Avoid names like:
- a1
- box2
- temp
Why Code Standards Matter for Jobs
Companies follow coding standards.
Developers who follow standards are easier to work with.
Practice Task
