Naming objects - dash, period, underscores, camelcase ? #4

Closed lwasser closed 8 years ago

lwasser commented 8 years ago

Hi @tracykteal @jduckles what is the convention for naming objects in lessons. I see a combination of periods, dashes, underscores and camel case. It would be nice to have a standard for these lessons. Thank you!

I am a big fan of Richie Cotton's style guide @ http://4dpiecharts.com/r-code-style-guide/

Wow - that's great! I love the idea of having a guide. We should use that!

Joe - also, i made some edits to the lessons to try to get them to flow. I moved plotting with attributes to the attributes section. I also added some challenges, etc. Lesson 03 needs a bit more work - i placed some notes in the file.

But if any changes that I made bother you, please let me know! The plotting issue is still up in the air a bit - we are having a discussion in the issues in the making pretty maps repo if you have thoughts on plot vs ggplot for final quality maps :)

At swcarpentry we typically use underscores like -> this_is_my_variable
