Coding Style

As of now, our team is experimenting with using MSDN's C# Coding Conventions style guide. Using a unified style guide brings some benefits:

  • Code is easier to read

  • Developers understand code more quickly

Specifically, this means:

  • Any newly-written code (e.g. new classes) should conform to the style guide

  • Any existing code doesn't have to be rewritten to conform to the style guide

Some practices we're trying:

  • Leave minimal comments in code reviews about style

  • If you touch old code, rewrite it to fit the new style
