Naming conventions

When I started programming the programmers followed complex variable naming standards. The most commonly used notation was Hungarian. Over time, the standards evolved and now we have some industry naming standards for programs. I am glad that I have knowledge about the earlier standards as it helps to understand legacy code. I found Pete Brown's website as a useful link for following naming conventions when coding in C#. I agree with most of the standards in that website. Most importantly, I am glad to see many people follow those standards. It makes understanding code easier even without explicit comments.
