PHP CODDING

Coding Standards are an important factor for achieving a high code quality. A common visual style, naming conventions and other technical settings allow us to produce a homogenous code which is easy to read and maintain. However, not all important factors can be covered by rules and coding standards. Equally important is the style in which certain problems are solved programmatically - it’s the personality and experience of the individual developer which shines through and ultimately makes the difference between technically okay code or a well considered, mature solution.
These guidelines try to cover both, the technical standards as well as giving incentives for a common development style. These guidelines must be followed by everyone who creates code for the TYPO3 Flow core. Because Neos is based on TYPO3 Flow, it follows the same principles - therefore, whenever we mention TYPO3 Flow in the following sections, we equally refer to Neos. We hope that you feel encouraged to follow these guidelines as well when creating your own packages and TYPO3 Flow based applications.
