Online guide to naming software objects? [closed]

Question

Is there a resource that defines and gives guidance to naming objects in software? For instance, when to call something a service vs a handler? When to include nouns or verbs in the name.

I'm looking for something definitive to settle arguments and provide guidelines for my team.

Answer 1

The most important thing about naming, is that all the team do it in the same way. That way you'll understand what an object does from its name, and you'll be able to find objects if you can guess what name they should have. Check this link about Why are good names useful?
