What is the best practice? CamelCase or Underscore_names ? The right way for names of the variables?

Hey Ruben,

Honestly, it all depends on who you ask and what language you are referring to. In JavaScript and jQuery, lower camelCase is used in the Core, so most programmers will use it in their code. This is the most common naming convention in JavaScript.

Other languages will use upper CamelCase (or Pascal case) for Functions, Classes, ect. and then under_scores or camelCase for variables and such.

I personally prefer camelCase (I hate the shift-dash thing). But, I do adapt and stick to the most common convention for the language I'm working in.

If you're coding yourself, as long as you are consistent... if your coding with a team, you'll have to follow the norm.

Ya I would like to know the answer as well. I use camelCase(in JS) but underscore is easy to read.
