Coding Standard

February 1, 2010 | Articles

For a team to effectively share ownership of all the code, all the developers need to write the code in the same way, with rules that ensure the code communicates clearly.

The specifics of the coding standard aren’t all that important, just that all team members follow the same standard.

Here are some sample coding standards:

Java – Code Conventions for the JavaTM Programming Language
Ruby – The Unofficial Ruby Usage Guide
C# – Visual Studio Coding Techniques
C++ – CERN C++ Coding Standard

Google also has a number of style guides for a range of languages.
