Is there any Coding Guidelines for Palm OS Programming.
I want to prefix my variables with some standard string/char which can tell the data type.
For example: b is for Boolean d is for Double rc for RectangleType p for Pointer (EventPtr).
Hungarian notation is a legacy of K&R C which no one should ever adopt.
I think it might have been Charles Simonyi who came up w/ Hungarian notation, not K&R. And not to start a coding style debate here, but what's wrong w/ K&R style? I use it for the most part and it works reasonably well for me.
Other than that, I agree about the lameness of hungarian notation.
I used to use it myself in a limited manner but it just got annoying when changing variable types. I do still use a scope prefix though to indicate global or member variables.
