1.2 Code Conventions

All Web Service Core library classes are in the namespace rwsf and therefore start with rwsf::, as in rwsf::Client.

All SourcePro libraries that ship with HydraExpress are prefaced with RW, as in RWDateTime.

In some cases, we may refer to an instance of a class by an English name; for example, "the handler manager" instead of "the rwsf::HandlerManager instance." We do this to make it easier to read when the meaning should be clear from context, but we use the longer form if there is any ambiguity.

All function names begin with a lower case letter, with the first letter of subsequent words capitalized. Function names attempt to accurately describe what a function does. For example, rwsf::MessageListener::start() starts the listener thread. Underline characters and abbreviations are not generally used in function names.

Throughout the documentation, there are frequent references to self, which should be understood to mean *this.
