[Year 12 Its] Re: Naming Conventions

[robertw]

Hi folks,
It would appear to be the opposite to Java where the function of the method 
is emphasised, and goes first rather than the GUI element that is the 
vehicle for the processing. 

void calculateBtn_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     //put your code in here
    }
Visual Basic began with a view that its pre-defined structural features were 
the main key to solving the problems. Whereas Java, a language designed 
before GUI's were incorporated into the language, has always had an emphasis 
on the processes rather than the GUI structure. 

Hence the reason you see Java adapting to mobile phone GUI's as much as 
Windows or Linux, 

but then again I could be wrong:-) 

Cheers, RobW
