What is you opinion on using camel case for web resources?
I am coming from a Java background where camel case is second nature, but still when naming web resources, such as html, css, javascript camel case does not feel right.
(e.g. http://localhost/application/editUserForm.html vs http://localhost/application/edit/user/form.html)
Any comments, suggestions are welcome!
The main consideration on naming schemes would be impact on SEO. From my understanding, Google (and presumably other engines) can ‘read’ amalgamated words in a single string, so camel case should be OK, as would a single case-insensitive string. Splitting the scheme by directory using rewrites would be clearer for less capable spiders. One piece of advice Google give is to use hyphens (-) rather than underscores (_), but that’s not relevant here.
If you expect a real person to ever have to type the full address, using something easy to read would be a bonus in order to minimise error.
