Yesterday was a cold day, Johannesburg woke up to a white cover in the form of snow. Yes the largest city in Africa for it's altitude (1600m above sea level) was covered with white fluffy powder for the first time in 25 years. I will post some photos in the next couple of days.

Than came this morning, I had no illusions that I would see snow again, but I woke up to a sight not seen often either, Johannesburg was covered in white again this time in the form of frost add to that an eery fog and you have the perfect start of a horror story...

Till next time.

Now here is an argument waiting to happen and, as you may have figured out, I love a good argument ...

My take on variable naming conventions in C# is as follows:

1. Use of an underscore for any class scoped variables (private) which allows you to use the same name (save for the Underscore) for your properties.
2. Use Camel Case
3. Use meaningful descriptive names so that any other developer can understand what it contain.

It makes it easy to read and remember how to code.

Simplify.

But if you really feel this is way too simple, here is a list of resources:

Or simply search Google.

The point is that no one really agrees.

Just to tell you all that I am not dead nor is this blog.

You see I have recently been transferred to a new division in my company and I have been busy adjusting and finding my way.

I am still planing a few things for the future, please be patient it's coming...
