| Feb 24, 2013 at 6:35 | comment | added | Erik Reppen | What?! Consistency? Where's the rage war?! That's it, I hereby nominate myself keeper of the sacred camel-case syntax flame and hereby decree that doing it with all-caps for acryonyms is for noobs. Also, it's correct to want to have the toilet paper roll from the top unless you have cats who get bored and do strange things, in which case they have much harder time unraveling the toilet paper set to roll from the bottom making such heresy acceptable for cat owners. I don't know why I get to decree on that. Bob the keeper of the toilet-roll-direction's sacred flame is busy I guess. | |

| Feb 11, 2013 at 11:13 | comment | added | MattDavey | Usually I would go uppercase for acronyms only (eg HTML). "Id" is not an acronym, it's an abbreviation for identity, so I treat it the same as a regular, un-abbreviated identifier and remain consistent with the language conventions (PascalCase in .NET) | |

| Feb 8, 2013 at 11:36 | comment | added | Simon Whitehead | I am currently working with a HUGE codebase that frequently interchanges id, Id, and ID. It is extremely painful to work with. | |

| Feb 8, 2013 at 8:57 | comment | added | user11463 | But the upper-case identifiers, by convention, are used in Java for static fields, so the "ID" name for base field is not the best one. And there comes the consistency... | |
| Feb 8, 2013 at 0:12 | comment | added | luiscubal | Look at your language's XML APIs to see how they do it. Java names classes like SAXParser and DOMException, .NET names classes like XmlDocument. Based on that, I'd say "ID" in Java, "Id" in C#. | |
| Feb 7, 2013 at 23:28 | comment | added | user40980 | Consistency is the most important thing that matters. Be it camel case, or underscores or whatnot. Be consistent. | |
