Power: d_Appendix A, Prestwood Coding Convention

Take Away:
This chapter will introduce you to creating both menus and pop-up menus. If you are
going to create an application-wide menu, then I strongly recommend you use
Paradox’s Application Framework. This chapter will instruct you how to create
menus for non-Application Framework applications and pop-up menus you can use with
both.

About Coding Conventions


A coding convention consists of the rules that you use to type your
code, names, objects, and so on. Every programming language is
flexible in how you use it. Developing a consistent coding
convention is very important. With a good, consistent coding
convention, your code is much easier to read and maintain. In the
long run, it saves you time and money. In order for programmers to
use it, a coding convention needs to be simple and easy to
remember.

How we Apply Coding Conventions to YOUR Project


Our developers are aware of best practice standards for coding and apply them as
appropriate to your project. If we're performing maintenance coding, then we strive to
"fit in" to the current coding convention. If this is a new project we will create a Project
Specific Developer's Guide which contains developer to developer standards, suggestions,
and usage applied to the project. In addition, we sometimes create a developer's guide
for maintenance projects if either no obvious coding convention exists or a mixture of
coding conventions were used.

Standard Versus Suggestion


Throughout a good quality coding convention standard, you will see the terms
“standard� and “suggestion� used carefully. A standard is a coding convention
that you must follow. A suggestion is just that, a suggestion. Although following the
suggested coding convention is wise, there will be plenty of exceptions.

SAMPLE: Prestwood Coding Convention (PCC)


We offer PCC as an example of a fairly well known coding convention authored by Mike
Prestwood and used by many Paradox developers in the 1990s. PCC is a coding
convention that has been public since it was first published in June of 1994. It is not to be
considered set in stone, but is to act as a guideline and is to be used in accordance to the
needs of the current project. Except for some introductory material, this Paradox Edition
is the same as published in Mike Prestwood's book, "Corel Paradox 9 Power
Programming: The Official Guide".
