Programming Naming Conventions

I tend to favour the following rules, as can be seen in the Traffic Intelligence project

• UpperCamelCase for classes
• lowerCamelCase for methods
• all upper cases for constants
• explicit names, even if they have to be long, for variables
• 4 spaces for indentation in Python code (no tab!)
• shared pointers in C++
• const and references for function arguments wherever possible in C++
