This chapter covers basic terms — table, column, record, primary key, foreign key, schema, index, view — and naming conventions that hold up as a global standard (plural table names, snake_case, Booleans prefixed with is_, and more), for junior engineers.
Naming conventions in TypeScript, Part 1. Explains how to choose among the four case conventions (kebab, snake, Pascal, camel) and how to name variables, booleans, and constants, using Bad / Good comparisons. The gateway to naming well, so the code itself becomes documentation.
Naming conventions in TypeScript, Part 2. Explains naming functions with verb patterns such as get / set / calculate, functions that return a boolean, suffix patterns for class names, and the criteria for not making method names redundant, using Bad / Good comparisons.
Naming conventions in TypeScript, Part 3. Covers principles that improve naming quality, such as pronounceable names, plural forms for arrays, unifying synonyms, contrasting words, avoiding meaningless words, and criteria for abbreviation, plus a comprehensive exercise and a quick reference summary.
