Delphi Coding Standards [duplicate]

Question

I am in the process of writing (down) our companies coding standards for Delphi programming, so what would anyone suggest to have as a basis, anything that you would recommend to use / not use ?

Answer 1

I used Delphi Language Coding Standards Document as a basis for an internal document.

The Object Pascal Style Guide could probably be termed the "official" one, I think - as far as there is such a thing.

Answer 2

Be careful not getting too anal about forcing standards. You might want to collect a few sample examples from your most experienced programmers, get them to agree, and use those as templates for everyone.

Jeff Atwood recently had an interesting Blog entry about just a single aspect of standards: "Death to the Space Infidels!" and in there he says:

"It doesn't actually matter which coding styles you pick. What does matter is that you, and everyone else on your team, sticks with those conventions and uses them consistently."
