The Other Hard Problem: Lessons and Advice on Naming Things

DjangonCon 2015

In this talk, I'll review what has been written in the last few decades on nomenclature, go over the easy parts of right or wrong as defined in PEP8 and other style guidelines, and finally suggest some patterns and anti-patterns found in today's Django and open source environment for us to adopt (or avoid!) in our everyday naming of variables, libraries and other "things".
