so all our variable names first reflect their type. Start doing this and you'll never look back ;)
nvc = nvarchar str = string int = integer dec = decimal fom = form
My thoughts on Hungarian-style naming conventions are well-known: I despise them! :)
Why? Because they clutter up the code, making it hard to read (code should be readable just like English prose, in my opinion) and, worse, they expose underlying implementation details which can create maintenance problems (because if you ever change a type you have to edit every reference to the variable in your code).
The "classic" Hungarian prefix is "sz" for string (originally zero-terminated string) and I've seen folks use this in Java (and even ColdFusion) despite the fact that Java doesn't use "zero-terminated" strings - that's an implementation artifact of C and C++.
But, if you want to use them in your own organization, that's fine. You won't get to use them if you ever work for me :)
