The term ‘slug’ comes from the world of newspaper production. It’s an informal name given to a story during the production process.

It seems Helper, Manager, and Util are the unavoidable nouns you attach for coordinating classes that contain no state and are generally procedural and static. … Read more

Google doesn’t for example. So to keep it compatible it reports problems with error codes. That just never scales well, library … Read more

Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability. Python packages should also have short, all-lowercase names, although the use of underscores is discouraged. Since module names are mapped to … Read more
Android follows normal java package conventions plus here is an important snippet of text to read (this is important regarding the wide use of xml files while developing on android). The reason for having it in reverse order is to do with the layout on the storage media. If you consider each period (‘.’) in … Read more
The @ symbol allows you to use reserved word. For example: int @class = 15; The above works, when the below wouldn’t: int class = 15;
