Using consistent naming conventions
If you have only a few things to keep track of your children, for example then it probably makes little sense to worry about a consistent naming strategy. But as a developer, you will create or modify hundreds or even thousands of objects (fields, forms, views, roles, databases) over a period of years. Consistent naming conventions will help you to reduce errors and to be more productive.
The name of a file or design element should convey some human meaning about its purpose. Elements which belong together should be named in some common manner. If a design element provides a space for comments, use it to further clarify the purpose of the element.
Name databases so that URLs are easy to remember
Meaningful and non-cryptic URLs are easier to remember and less likely to be mistyped by users. When you create an application, use simple and meaningful titles and filenames. Filenames like the following are easier to remember:
