Adobe Flex: Standardizing Your Code

Code standards matter in both team development and individual projects. Consistent conventions provide several benefits:

• better readability;
• more predictable maintenance;
• easier code sharing;
• less accidental variation between modules and authors.

In 2007, Fábio Terracini from the FlexDev community published a convention guide for MXML and ActionScript at DClick. The material was also discussed on the international FlexCoders list.
