RE: PPIG discuss: Effect of letter casing on readability

[Chris Douce]

Good question.  My two pence worth:  I haven't heard of any specific code and case studies myself, two associated issues spring to mind - the role of convention and variable naming (it seems to be a common convention to type constants in upper case), and whether there are any studies from the HCI community on the readability of one form of text (font size and style) over another.   Chris -----Original Message----- From: Steven Clarke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 December 2003 00:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PPIG discuss: Effect of letter casing on readability Does anyone know of studies investigating the effect of casing on readability of program source code?   Thanks,   Steven
