Development Best Practices

Introduction

Documents in this category help you adopt consistent naming and modeling conventions while developing your Mendix applications. Working within these practices improves your apps' maintainability and performance, and speeds up collaboration time among development groups.

Even with the powerful navigation and search support in Mendix Studio Pro, adhering to naming and modeling conventions is wise due to the following reasons:

• After finishing an application, it is usually handed over to different people for maintenance, so even years later, they will need to understand what you did and how to improve on it
• Anybody should be able to quickly understand an existing app in terms of what is located where and how the different parts are related
• A clear structure helps in identifying reusable code
