Developer Law – No Spaces in File or Directory Names

Filed under: Rants/Musings — cangione @ 7:46 pm

I have been enjoying the Miller Lite "Man Law" commercials that have been on this season with the recordist sitting at the end of the table to write down all the laws. After the day I had chasing down a stupid escape problem for a space in a directory name I submit that leaving out spaces in directory and file names should be a "developer law". By convention, I typically use underscore to replace the space (Example: Developer_Rants). I've also seen some people "Camel Case" the words (DeveloperRant).
