Aug 16, 2011 at 16:23	comment	added	JaCraig		I never said that Microsoft came up with it. I actually said Charles Simonyi came up with it (specifically apps hungarian notation). Microsoft pushed it heavily, but I never said they created it (in fact I said I wasn't sure if he created it during his Xerox or Microsoft days). I was giving it as an example of something that a large company (Microsoft) suggested as the way things should be done. My point in all of this is the OP shouldn't worry about naming conventions that a company that he doesn't work for says is the "right way" (unless he works for Microsoft, in which case he should care).
