Zend Framework – MixedCase or ACRONYMCase Survey

2010 July 14
by Richard Knop

So Matthew Weier O’Phinney and the rest of the Zend Framework team have started to convert all code to use ACRONYMCase casing. However, they’re not done yet and they have decided to let people decide whether to use MixedCase or ACRONYMCase. If you’d like to have your say in this matter simply visit this website and vote in the survey.

The poll will probably get closed in few days so hurry.

Personally, I have voted for ZF classes to enforce MixedCasing. I find it much more readable than ACRONYMCasing. XmlHttpRequest is prettier and more readable than XMLHTTPRequest, don’t you think?

    Well, actually Matthew has closed the voting already – 72% for the mixed case! Code that was already updated to ACRONYMs is going to be reverted back to MixedCase in few days.

    Well, good to know :)

    I’m glad MixedCasing won.
