let me preface my statement by saying, we are a BIG shop (over 4000 use
rs
inter, intra, and extranet). As such, we use all sorts of languages
and I
have personally been a part of standards committees. Standards are a
very
personal thing, and that's not a joke, but there are just a few things
I'd
mention to keep in mind when devising them:
1. Don't go overboard
2. Don't try to use the same standards for different technologies
syntactically or theoretically
3. Every language has intricacies.
i.e., for HTML use standards for presentation not syntax as th
e syntax
is loose but for Java dont worry about how many tabs they use in a cont
rol
structure but be sure your programmers aren't using deprecated data typ
es,
methods, etc.
4. Leave room for your programmers to do workarounds like loosely
definining an application.cfm instead of saying you can have these an
d only
these 16 lines of code in the application.cfm of any page using the
corporate template.

Subject: OT: programming standards & best practice guidelines
I'm attempting to compile some information for my department, and I'm
looking
for resources/websites to find information on programming standards &
guidelines for CF, HMTL, JavaScript, etc.
I'm looking for information like:
In CF, all references to shared variables should be locked.
All CF variables should be scoped
All HTML tags should be in lowercase
All pages should include a standard header that contains author, last
modified, etc
I'm not looking for "use fusebox" as an answer to this question.
Anyone know of anything?
Thanks,
Erica
