No, no, no, no, no!!!! Even Microsoft have given up on this practice as being old-fashioned and causing confusion and making code hard to read! Hungarian notation is a *terrible* practice! It makes code hard to read and it makes maintenance *much* harder! > For instance Variables.sName, or Variable.fSalary for a string and a > float variable. Because this makes code HARD to read. > The code can be easally read. Bullshit! This has been totally discredited. Microsoft were the most adamant proponents of Hungarian notation - go read their C# coding guidelines: they decry Hungarian notation! > And it is a huge performance boost, if you prefix all your variables > with the scope their in. OK, yes, we're in agreement here. Every argument should be prefixed by "arguments." and every instance variable should be prefixed by "variables." - and local variables DO NOT NEED ANY SORT OF PREFIX! > We at railo have designed a handy approach.
