Podcasts about camelcase

973. "Oppenheimer" leads us to wonder about the "nucular" pronunciation of "nuclear." And why do people have that second capital letter in the middle of MySpace, OutKast, and PowerPoint (and is it grammatically correct)?| Edited transcript with links: https://grammar-girl.simplecast.com/episodes/nuclear/transcript| Grammarpalooza (Get texts from Mignon!): https://joinsubtext.com/grammar or text "hello" to (917) 540-0876.| Subscribe to the newsletter for regular updates.| Watch my LinkedIn Learning writing courses.| Peeve Wars card game. | Grammar Girl books. | HOST: Mignon Fogarty| VOICEMAIL: 833-214-GIRL (833-214-4475) or https://sayhi.chat/grammargirl| Grammar Girl is part of the Quick and Dirty Tips podcast network.Audio Engineer: Nathan SemesDirector of Podcast: Brannan GoetschiusAdvertising Operations Specialist: Morgan ChristiansonMarketing and Publicity Assistant: Davina TomlinDigital Operations Specialist: Holly Hutchings| Theme music by Catherine Rannus.| Grammar Girl Social Media Links: YouTube.

It did include more OO concepts, so for a lot of developers this would be harder. It was open book, open internet, great for those tricky ACF settings you don't use, but they definitely make it tricky.The 1 day lecture was great too, Brian did a great job covering as much information as he could in one day, in addition to all of the online content, Brian's tips for items on the test, and pre-test “practice” questions really helped. According to Slack re Adobe Certified ProfessionalThe Adobe Certified Professional: Adobe ColdFusion cert is a totally different, MUCH more difficult and comprehensive certification than the CF Specialist previously offered.Mark Takata, Nolan and Dave F + the CF engineering team, Elishia and Kishore all spent a week together building the new one and it is HARD.I highly recommend it as a test of your skills, I guarantee everyone will learn something new.Yes, but there's also over 100 hours of video to go over before the 1 day lecture + cert. So you watch videos, sit in class, then take the exam there. It is no joke, definitely challenging, but super satisfying to pass.Plus you get access to those videos for a year, which is nice for going back and reviewing things down the line.https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-family/certificate.html Trying out Github Co-PilotI know Adam Tuttle, Carol Hamilton, Adam Cameron are using Co-Pilot, so I thought I would try it out. It's interesting, it's not very CF Smart yet, but it does give you some great pseudo code, especially with our testing.https://github.com/features/copilot Hacktoberfest 2023HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PARTICIPATE AND COMPLETE HACKTOBERFEST:Register anytime between September 26 and October 31Pull requests can be made in any GITHUB or GITLAB hosted project that's participating in Hacktoberfest (look for the “hacktoberfest” topic)Project maintainers must accept your pull/merge requests for them to count toward your totalHave 4 pull/merge requests accepted between October 1 and October 31 to complete HacktoberfestThe first 40,000 participants (maintainers and contributors) who complete Hacktoberfest can elect to receive one of two prizes: a tree planted in their name, or the Hacktoberfest 2022 t-shirt.https://hacktoberfest.com/ New Releases and UpdatesAdobe ColdFusion 2021 and 2018 October Security UpdatesWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions: ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 5 ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 15 In these updates, we've fixed a few security and feature-specific bugs, along with other libraries.

And perhaps you heard its main value is to export/import CF Admin settings via JSON: it can indeed do that, and while that may excite some, others may yawn if they've "seen that elsewhere". (To be clear, it can export/import either ALL settings or selected ones.)Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_UfNptoz4UMeetup: https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/288734963/ Adobe Workshops & WebinarsJoin the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

I'm not sure if I'm on the right path or not, but thought I'd share.I have some UDF & CFC libraries that we've built over the year and I have some checks to determine whether default application variables exist and use them to override default values. In order to avoid possible "Scope Injection" & errors (when scopes don't exist), I thought I'd attempt to write a function that uses "safe navigation" to verify scope classname, verify key (in the struct keylist) and return the value (w/optional fallback).https://dev.to/gamesover/safely-fetching-scoped-variables-while-avoiding-scope-injection-2ee3 10/7/22 - Blog - Nolan Erck - Adobe CF Summit 2022 Recap The Adobe CF Summit 2022 is done!

The code in that post makes me cringe; and represents both a style and a mindset that feels archaic. As such, I wanted to go about modernizing that code. But, as I was rewriting it, I kept running into hurdles. What I realized is that converting a ColdFusion query directly into a CSV is simply not something I do that often. Instead, I use a two-phase process that first builds an Array-based representation of the "report data"; and then, I serialize this intermediary value as CSV (Comma Separated Values).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4334-converting-a-query-into-a-human-readable-csv-in-two-phases-in-coldfusion.htm 10/7/22 - Tweet - Ortus Solutions - CF Summit#CFSummit was a successful event!

But, there's more to a method signature, such as the mode in which it can be invoked. Most methods can only be invoked as a member method. However, in some cases, an Object's API allows for methods to be detached and passed-around as "naked functions". In ColdFusion, we can use Closures / Lambdas to bind a Function reference to a ColdFusion Component instance such that the "member method" can be used - and work correctly - as a "naked function".https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4240-using-closures-to-bind-naked-functions-to-components-in-coldfusion.htm04/03/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding FusionReactor Sub-Transaction Breakdowns To My ColdFusion BlogA couple of years ago, I wrote about how we're using the FusionReactor API (FRAPI) to instrument our Lucee CFML apps at work. And, now that I have FusionReactor installed on my ColdFusion 2021 blog, I've been translating some of that logic over to this site. I recently demonstrated that FusionReactor gave me critical insights into my SQL queries and my in-memory caching techniques. And, this morning, I added some "Tracked Transactions" to help me understand how long certain portions of my ColdFusion request was taking to execute.Especially useful since FusionReactor doesn't provide CFC method nameshttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4242-adding-fusionreactor-sub-transaction-breakdowns-to-my-coldfusion-blog.htmUseful link: https://forgebox.io/view/FRAPISDK04/04/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Moving My Short-Code Redirects To NetlifyFor years, I've had my own "short code" URL, bjam.in. There's no meaningful reason for me to have it - only, that I was raised in an era when short codes were all the rage. And, an era in which Twitter actually counted embedded URLs as part of the overall message length (something that they no longer do). But, one thing that's always bothered me about bjam.in is that it didn't have an SSL Certificate. I never wanted to pay for one since the site does nothing but redirect to www.bennadel.com, which does have an SSL Certificate. To remedy this, I've moved my bjam.in logic over to Netlify which automatically provisions SSL Certificates using Let's Encrypt.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4243-moving-my-short-code-redirects-to-netlify.htm04/05/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding CreateTimeSpan() To Date/Time Values In ColdFusionIn ColdFusion, it's trivial to add a given date-part, such an "hour" or a "day", to an existing date - there are built-in functions and member-methods for this task. But, it's a little harder to mix "Dates" with "Time Spans". Doing so, often leads to a fractional numeric value. This fractional value is a "numeric date". There are a number of ways to cast between "numeric dates" and "dates"; but, I wanted to look at how we can avoid casting by thinking about what a "time span" actually is; and, how we can efficiently add and remove time spans to and from dates in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4244-adding-createtimespan-to-date-time-values-in-coldfusion.htm04/03/2022 - Tweet - @cfhawaiiWe are looking for a speaker on #coldFusion ORM DM me if interestedhttps://twitter.com/cfhawaii/status/151080504602325401804/01/2022 - Tweet - @ortussolutionsThe Ortus USA Team has been working hard at this year's retreat.

Special guest: Chris Moffit Brain #1: Subclassing in Python Redux Hynek Schlawack Prefer composition over inheritance, But if you must subclass, there are 3 types subclassing for code sharing bad. don't do it. read the article and included linked articles if you aren't convinced Interfaces / Abstract Data Types Can be useful, but Python has tools that make this work without subclassing Specialization Exception hierarchies There's also an interesting discussion of structuring data classes with common elements This is the only type of subclassing that Hynek deems worthy This is a well written, useful, and long-ish article that I cannot summarize and do it justice. My summary: If you even consider sublcassing other than for exceptions, read this article first. Michael #2: Extra, Extra, Extra*7, Hear all about it! New course!

Python 3.9.6 is out Python Web Conf 2021 videos are out, including mine on memory. pip install pythonbytes via pythonbytes package. Chris #3: klib Perform automated cleaning and analyzing of data in a pandas DataFrame Missing value plot and correlation data plots are similar to other tools but the visualizations are nicely done and useful. The data cleaning functions are really nice. In some testing, the automated data type conversion can save a meaningful amount of data. For large data sets, you can drop columns with lots of null values or highly correlated values. The clean_column_names function also performs several cleanups on column names such as removing spaces, standardizing CamelCase, etc. You have control to use as much or as little of the automated process as possible. Brian #4: Don't forget about functools “functools — Higher-order functions and operations on callable objects” in English: cool decorators and other functions that act on functions A recent article by Martin Heinz reminded me to review functools We've talked about singledispatch recently, and I'm sure we've talked about lru_cache before. These are in functools. functools is an interesting library in that you kind of use it more and more as you increase your Python experience. As a new Python dev, I would have been rather lost looking at this, but as you work through different projects, come back to this and have a look, it'll have stuff you probably could have used, and will use in the future. What's in there? Here's a few: @singledispatch & @singledispatchmethod - function/method overloading @wraps - A must for creating your own decorators that makes the decorated function act just like the original function (attributes, docstring, and all, with just the added behavior you are adding. @lru_cache - memoization made easy LRU = least recently used. It's what it throws away when it's full @cache - like @lru_cache but with no max size. New in 3.9 @cached_property - only run the read code once. New in 3.8 del(obj.property) to clear it. Yes this is weird, but also cool. @total_ordering - Define __eq__() and one other ordering function and get the other ordering functions for “free”. not free. cost is slower execution and confusing stack traces if things go wrong. but still, when prototyping something, or when comparisons are very rare, this is cool partial / partialmethod - create a new function with some of the arguments of the old function already filled in. super cool for callbacks or defining convenience functions Michael #5: GitHub Copilot Get suggestions for whole lines or entire functions right inside your editor.

Show Notes 01:27 - How do you implement WebRTC? Please tell us more about online streaming, screen sharing, data flow. 03:20 - Which JS library/framework do you think beginners might find the easiest to understand? 05:06 - How do you deal with different case types between different systems in your project? For example, I store records in a Postgres database which typically uses snake_case and then I render them with React, where props are typically camelCase. Is it better to convert the cases back and forth between frontend and backend or just pick one case and use it everywhere? 09:23 - My question is about the difference between a framework and a library. Should we have two separate words? 12:39 - How can I work on improving both my generic problem-solving skills and my debugging skills? I feel like there have got to be some more proactive things I can do to improve in these areas. 17:22 - I just listened to your podcast on making freelancing easier and enjoyed it. You talk about making your own component library. Do you have tips on how to store and manage a component library? 21:39 - What projects do you use Rust for, and do you have any ideas where Rust might be the thing to do when talking web projects? 29:10 - I’ve recently joined a great-paying full-time gig at a big enterprise-level company as a Senior Javascript Engineer (React, Node, etc). I’m humbled to be here - but at times the pace is slow, tickets are scarce, and I feel like I’m not able to really utilize or hone my skillset. I’ve been looking at potentially moving into contracting/agency work - the money seems comparable with the added benefit of new and exciting projects and having more control over them. Do you think contract work would be more fulfilling, or is crazy to leave a cushy job solely because I’m in a sense, bored? 35:26 - I’m currently working on a Next.js project and trying to decide which CSS system to use. What is your take on CSS modules? I know you like styled components a lot, but since there is built-in support for CSS modules with scoped CSS, I find it hard to motivate bringing in styled components. Am I missing something? 38:15 - Regarding Episode 290, you fielded a question regarding Angular and I appreciated your balanced response since I’m primarily an Angular developer at my job. If you could, would you please update the link to the Angular website to point to Angular.io (v10) instead of the AngularJS (v1) website? 40:43 - I really need advice on how to write a good resume, or any tips you may have for getting noticed in the hiring process with only a couple years of experience. I have been applying to many jobs as a front-end developer but I seem to get no response EVER. 47:17 - How do I dynamically assign subdomain/wildcard/slug dynamically during signup process with React and Node? (Like the way Freshbooks does — i.e tenant1.domain.com, tenant2.domain.com, etc.) 48:44 - Wes, I’ve been taking your Mastering Gatsby course, and I’m loving the course so far. My only complaint would be I wish you added a module for CSS. I think it's just because I personally struggle with styling websites. Do either of you have any suggestions on how I can improve in that aspect of web dev? 50:35 - For web developers just starting out in freelancing/building e-commerce sites — from a business perspective, do you recommend we first 1) just code and worry about business stuff later? or 2) go through the government paperwork and be a sole proprietorship? or 3) incorporate (though this costs more)? 54:20 - What’s your approach for handling padding + margin with components? 57:43 - How do you back up sensitive files that do NOT get added to source control (env files, for example)? I have off-site computer backups, and I have .env files on a small thumb drive on my keychain. What do you do? 59:56 - Do you guys have stress management techniques? How do you cope with stressful situations at work, like unexpected tight deadlines?

Eric and Gavin host this weeks episode. They discuss Fusion Reactor 8.5 has been released, as well as a new release to Lucee Spreadsheet lib 2.11.0. They announce the date and time on the next Ortus Webinar, presented by Gavin on Modern ColdFusion - no more copy and paste. They give you an update on CFCasts Content Updates. They discuss the next 2 Into the Box workshops coming in October, ColdBox Zero to Hero and Hero to SuperHero, and maybe a Quick Workshop coming up soon as well. They discuss jconf.dev going online in September. They discuss how the Adobe ColdFusion Certification is now online and remind you that Adobe's CF Summit Conference, being changed to a Online conference, now with dates, November 17-19, call for speakers is apparently closed ( but the form is still there ). They spotlight a lot of great blog posts, tweets, videos and podcasts, too many to list, so listen to the show. They announce some jobs from getCfmlJobs.com, as well as a Senior CFML position available at Ortus Solutions. They show off the ForgeBox module of the Week, Coldbox-asset-bag by Ortus Solutions, an asset bag to manage css and javascript dependencies. This week's VS Code Tip of the week is Multiple cursor case preserve. Have you ever tried to change a single word in all variable names, but had your camelCase broken? This extension preserves selection case in these situations. It recognises CAPS, Uppercase and lowercase. Works for typing or pasting.

The Query - WPwatercooler A question and answer show for 38% of the web. Jason Cosper answering your WordPress questions. Got a question? Are You Looking For Brand Awareness? You could be a show sponsor. Especially now, let people know you’re still in business and supporting your products. Supporting podcasts is a great way to repurpose your in-person conference budget.  Accessibility is Simple - Include as Large of an Audience As Possible Accessibility adds to your value as an entrepreneur and improves SEO. Everything starts on your phone; design for small and think about how we communicate. Plan for the worst-case and then you will make it easy for everyone. Get someone else to use your website to see how they use it; this is a basic UX principle, Joe reminds us. "Accessibility is about making your services and your business available to all people." Joe Simpson, Jr. It is worth noting that if your business comes under litigation (class action) for ADA (physical) issues they can also add digital issues. Yes, they can throw your business website into the class action on path-of-travel and other ADA issues with your property. Accessibility and Websites "The great things about WordPress is that a lot of themes are accessible out of the box." Joe Simpson, Jr. "When I think about accessibility, I ask people to open up their website, close their eyes, and hit the tab key three times. Do you know where it is supposed to be?" Joe Simpson, Jr. https://twitter.com/Highforge/status/1270067227304185856 Accessibility and Alt Tags "With alt tags, context of the tex hat is around the image [is important]." Joe Simpson, Jr. If the image is decorative, then mark it as such. The WP Admin now has that feature. Accessibility and Search Good semantic HTML is good for accessibility and SEO efforts. Don't forget all of the great voice assistants that everyone uses. "When I heard that people are listening to their emails [I knew accessibility has a larger audience]." Jason Tucker Accessibility and Hashtags When you CamelCase a hashtag it's not only easier for the sighted to read it, but screen readers will read it to a user as two separate words. CamelCase is capitalizing the first letter in each word. Remember that punctuation isn't https://twitter.com/redcrew/status/1283388363714826241 Accessibility and Social Media Images Whenever possible, use alt descriptions for images that you use on social media as well. This helps you reach a much larger audience. Twitter allows you to write alt tags for your photos as well as GIF library images you post. Tool Or Tip Of The Week Your ad could have been here. Just sayin' Joe recommends Buddhify to help you meditate on the go. Jason recommends Grabatar to sync your contacts with their Gravatars. Bridget recommends Sarah Beth Yoga for anyone interested in yoga.

Red Rising is a classic mashup of The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Lord of the Flies & Ender's Game. However, this fast moving book is more than the sum of its parts.

  Learn the meaning behind the hashtag symbol (#), how to include it in your tweets, and why it's so important for engagement on Twitter, even for insurance agents.   The Agent Survival Guide Team’s 7 Rules for Using Hashtags: Hashtags don’t have spaces between words or punctuation in words. Hashtag phrases are usually CamelCase. The first letter of each word is capitalized to help you read phrases better, i.e. #InsuranceAgents not #insuranceagents. Hashtags can occur anywhere in a tweet — at the beginning, the middle, or the end. Hashtag words that become very popular on Twitter are often Trending Topics (which are highlighted in the sidebar of your Twitter feed). If you tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag can find your tweet. Don’t #spam #with #hashtags. Avoid over-tagging a single tweet. (The recommendation is no more than two to three hashtags per tweet.) Use hashtags only on tweets relevant to the topic. So, don’t add #insurance to a tweet about a bad hair day.   Mentioned in This Episode:   Follow Ritter on Twitter How to Be Successful on Twitter: 9 Surprising Stats to Know   The latest from Agent Survival Guide:   2020 Medicare Advantage & Part D Certification Info 4 Reasons Why Ritter Should Be Your FMO Insurance Agency 5 MORE Real-Life Medicare Sales Scenarios & How to Handle Them   Subscribe & Follow:   Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Overcast Podbean Spotify Stitcher   Connect on social:   Facebook Twitter YouTube LinkedIn  

On this episode, I spoke with Amanda Peterson, formerly the Head of Naming and Leader of Brand Management at Google. While there, she helped establish Alphabet, Google's parent company, as well as sister companies like Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car company. Before Google, Amanda headed up naming at HP—before I held that role—and also worked at Logitech and Landor. She recently left Silicon Valley and is now Head of Marketing and Communications at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Amanda and I go way back. I first met her when I was Director of Verbal Identity at Interbrand San Francisco and she was my client at HP. And then, funny enough, when she went to Google, I went over and took her place as Global Head of Naming at HP. Amanda and I talked about naming briefs, her approach to name generation, one of her favorite names (Bluetooth), her pet peeves in brand names, and what she likes most about being a namer.

Discussion: This lesson covers one of the most fundamental of all programming concepts:  Variables. This is a really exciting topic because once you have a handle on how variables work, you have one of the biggest keys to understanding how programming works. Specifically, we'll be discussing: Memory Data Types Declaring a Variable Naming Conventions Initializing a Variable What is a variable?  Variables are a programming tool that help us store and recall information in our programs. Memory A microcontroller, like the one the Arduino uses, as well as computers in general, have something called memory.  Memory is really handy because it allows us to store information for use at a later time. Let's say I'm working on a project that will monitor temperature during the day.  I have a temperature sensor that reads the current temperature every 60 minutes from 1 am until midnight.  I want the program to record the highest temperature and then display it at the end of the day on an LCD screen. In order for the program to accomplish this, it needs to store two key pieces of information.  It needs to store the value of the current temperature, and then it also needs to store the value of the highest temperature that it has encountered thus far. But how do we actually save this information in a sketch?  Furthermore, how do we recall it when we need to remember it?  In order to do this, we need to use the memory. For now, think of memory as a big wall of lockers, and you can use the lockers to store something.  When you need that something again, you just go back to locker and grab it. But how do you remember what locker you put it in?  In order for us to do that, we first have to give the locker a name.  That name you gave to the “locker”, the place where you’re storing your stuff, is called a variable. Now technically speaking, a variable is the named address of a specific location of memory.  However, I don't want to get caught up in all of the technical stuff.  I want to dive into the practical use of variables.  Therefore, let's go back to this temperature project. As previously stated, we want to record the highest temperature during a 24 hour period.  For our program, I need to store those two key pieces of information: the current temperature and the highest temperature. That means I’ll have to name two lockers.  I’ll call one locker "Current Temperature", and I'll name another locker "Highest Temperature". Let's say my Arduino begins taking the first reading of the day.  Maybe the temperature is 50 degrees.  So I'll open the “Current Temperature” locker, and I'll put in the number 50. At the same time, I'll also open up the “Highest Temperature” locker.  Right now there's nothing in it, but 50 is larger than nothing.  Therefore, I'll put the number 50 in the “Highest Temperature” locker, as well.  So now both of our lockers have the number 50 in them. After 60 minutes pass, I read the temperature again.  Let's say it has raised two degrees to read 52 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I open up my “Current Temperature” locker, and I put in 52.  This means that 52 overwrites the number 50 so that now the “Current Temperature” locker has the number 52 in it. I also peek inside the “Highest Temperature” locker.  I see that 52 is hotter than 50.  I go ahead and replace that also.  I'm just going to repeat that process every hour. I open up the “Current Temperature” locker, replace the old value with the new value, and then check to see if I need to replace the temperature in the “Highest Temperature” locker. This reveals the first really important thing about variables and the most powerful thing about variables.  The contents of a variable change.  The name of the variable stays the same because the variable is just the container for the information. We don't want to confuse it with the actual information itself.  The variable is the locker.  It's not the actual stuff inside the locker. Let's recap what we’ve learned thus far.  We need to store information, and we use memory to store it.  We can think of memory like a wall of lockers.  To use one of these lockers, we have to name it, and the name of the locker is called a variable. Once we have it named, we can put stuff in it and refer back to that stuff at a later time whenever we need it again.  Again, the name refers to the location of the locker, not the actual content of the locker. Data Types There is another thing we have to do when we make a variable.  We also have to say what type of thing we're going to put in it.  This is called the Data Type. A good analogy here is to imagine that you have to build a zoo.  You have to figure out where each animal is going to go in your zoo, and you have to make sure that each animal is given enough space so it can do its thing. For example, you'll need a bigger cage for a tiger than you will for an African frog display.  If you're going to have an aquatic display, you'll need a bigger tank for a shark than you will for a goldfish. Where am I going with this zoo analogy?  Here's the deal.  You can't take a monkey and put him in a cage designed for fish.  Likewise, you can't take a fish and put it in a cage designed for a tiger.  It just won’t work. Variables are similar to this because you have to specify a data type for the variable.  Maybe an example will clarify what I mean. Let's assume I have a variable, and I say, "This variable can only hold whole numbers."  I can put whole numbers in that variable all day long.  However, if I try to put a number like a fraction into that variable, I'm going to get an error. The reason is that I specified the data type for that variable to be whole numbers.  I can't put a fraction into a variable that I've designated as a whole number variable. Declaring a Variable Creating a variable is called "declaring" it.  To declare a variable, you need two things:  a name and a data type.  The data type comes first, followed by its name. One example of a common data type is an integer.  An integer is a data type that can store a whole number from -32,768 to 32,766. Of course, you don’t need to memorize that.  Just understand that a whole number is like 1, -5, or 18.  It doesn't have a decimal point after it, such as the number 1.0567. In order to specify a variable as an integer data type, we use the abbreviation "int".  The Arduino IDE recognizes all possible data types.  Therefore, when you type “int”, it will conveniently change the color of the text for you automatically. Following the data type, we need to key in the name.  There has to be a space between the data type and the name. You can name a variable almost anything you want, but there are some basic rules to follow.  A variable name cannot contain any spaces or special characters, such as a pound sign, dollar sign, or percent. You may use numbers in a variable name, as long as the name doesn’t start with a number.  Also, you can't use a keyword as the name of a variable. Keywords are special words that you will learn about later in the course.  They're words that the Arduino IDE restricts for certain uses.  Just like data types, the Arduino IDE will change the color of the text when you type a keyword. Thankfully, this means you don't have to know all the keywords right now.  If you happen to type one, it’ll change color and will help you realize that you can't use that as a variable name. Naming Conventions Using these rules, how should we name variables?  Even though you can name them whatever you want, there are still some naming conventions that are best to follow. The bottom line is that your variable names should be descriptive of what information they will hold. For example, if we wanted to save the current temperature in a variable called "mom", we could.  However, it really wouldn't make that much sense. It'd be more logical to name that variable "currentTemperature".  That way, if somebody else reads our sketch, they will have a basic idea of what information is actually in that variable. Notice how I wrote the word "currentTemperature".  I capitalized the T in the second word temperature.  This is called camelCase.  It's simply a way to help distinguish the words in a variable name. You could also type "current_temperature" with an underscore between the two words.  How you write the name of the variable is up to you. The important concept here is that this is called the "naming convention".  It is a way to keep things standardized to make the code easier to read and easier to understand. Throughout the course you'll see me use a mix of camelCase and underscoring, depending on the context of the variable I create.  Again, you're free to use whatever name you want, as long as you follow the rules we discussed. Initializing a Variable As mentioned before, when we are declaring a variable, we need the data type followed by the name.  Then, at the end of that statement, we want a semicolon. Once we've declared a variable, it can now hold information.  To put a value inside a variable, we use what is called the "assignment operator", which is simply just an equals sign. The first (or initial) time we assign a value to a variable, it's called "initializing the variable".  We can actually declare and initialize a variable on the same line of code.  Here’s an example: We have "int" for the data type and "currentTemperature"as the name of the variable.  Next, there is the assignment operator, the equals sign. After that is the value to which we are initializing that variable.  In this case, the initial value we are putting in the variable is 40.  Lastly, we finish the statement with the all-important semicolon. If we want to change that value at some point later in the program, we just use the assignment operator again. In other words, we would type the variable name "currentTemperature", use the equals sign as our assignment operator, type the new value, and then end it with a semicolon. Review Let's recap this lesson.  A variable is simply the name of a memory location.  It's how we're able to store and recall information in our sketch. In order to use a variable, we have to give it both a data type and a name.  The data type determines what we can put in a variable.  Although you can use almost anything for a variable name, we did go over a few helpful rules and naming conventions. When we want to assign a value to a variable, we use an equals sign called the assignment operator.  The first time we do this, it's called initializing that variable. Throughout the program, if we want to change the value of a variable, we simply type its name, assignment operator, and new value. That concludes this lesson.  I know it's all kind of abstract right now, but these concepts will become more concrete as we move forward in the course.  I look forward to next time where we'll dive more into data types and the like.

[This episode first aired February 20, 2010.]This week, it's the language of politics. Martha and Grant discuss two handy terms describing politicians: "far center" and "snollygoster." Also, a presidential word puzzle, "false friends," "spendthrifts," and a long list of "17th-century insults." So listen up, all you "flouting milksops," "blockish grutnols," and "slubberdegullions"! Grant explains the meaning of the new slang term "far center," and Martha tries to revive an antiquated term meaning "a corrupt politician," "snollygoster."Careful about how you spend your money? Then you're said to be "thrifty." So why is someone who isn't frugal called a "spendthrift"?"Pommy" is an often derogatory nickname used by Australians for the English. Does it come from an acronym for either "Prisoner of Mother England" or "Prisoner of Her Majesty"? The more likely story has to do with "sunburn and pomegranates."An older woman with a knack for finding older men to date? That's what you call someone with excellent "graydar."Speaking of politics, Quiz Guy Greg Pliska presents a puzzle featuring the names of U.S. presidents.Beware of "false friends," those words that don't translate the way you'd expect. For example, the word "gift" in German means "poison," and the Spanish word "tuna" means "the fruit of the prickly pear cactus." These tricky lookalikes are also called "faux amis."Is the term "refer back" redundant? Martha reports that listeners have been trying to help a caller http://www.waywordradio.org/down-a-chimney-up/ remember a word for someone who's exceptionally good at packing things in a confined space. She thinks she's found a winner: "stevedore."To keep something "at bay" means to maintain a safe distance from it. But does this expression derive from an old practice of using bay leaves to ward off pestilence?A Tallahassee caller wonders about the name for "terms that are capitalized in the middle," like MasterCard and FedEx. Grant explains that they're commonly called "CamelCase," not to be confused with "Studly Caps."Grant shares some slang he's found while exploring the game of "Skee-Ball," including to "hit the hundo."The hosts and a listener in Grand Rapids, Michigan, trade some 17th-century insults.
