camelCase

A variable in a programming language is sait to be d when all words but the
first are capitalized. This practice contrasts with the C tradition of
either running syllables together or marking syllable breaks with
underscores; thus, where a C programmer would write thisverylongname or
this_very_long_name , the d version would be thisVeryLongName. This practice
is common in certain language communities (formerly Pascal; today Java and
Visual Basic) and tends to be associated with object-oriented programming.
Compare BiCapitalization ; but where that practice is primarily associated
with marketing, camelCasing is not aimed at impressing anybody, and hackers
consider it respectable.
