After a bit of googling I’ve found the official coding guidelines for Cocoa.
To sum up:
- Start with a two- or three-letter prefix in ALL-CAPS
- Rest in UpperCamelCase
- Same criteria for
externconstants
I agree with itaiferber that the k prefix style is clearer and also much more useful for autocompletion. It would be interesting to know if this style is more popular than the official guidelines.
