At least with the conventions of the languages I'm familiar with, you use a lower case first letter on your identifiers, unless the identifier is a type (class or interface) name. Other identifiers (local variables, instance variables, functions, methods, etc.) usually start with a lower-case letter. So you'd have a User CFC, with a getUsername method.
That's just convention, of course - the language doesn't care. And with CF's lack of case sensitivity in most cases (though not every case), it rarely matters. I'd definitely recommend consistent casing, however. cheers, barneyb On Feb 17, 2008 1:15 PM, Jim McAtee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I see a lot of CF code being posted using the convention of starting CF > function names, both built-in and user-defined, with a lower case letter. > While the CF8 docs continue to use the convention of beginning function > names with upper case letters.
