namespaces and best practices

I've been trying to research my question, but I haven't found a difinitive
guide yet.

My company is starting to build projects using dotnet. There isn't much
coordination in namespaces, so I am trying to find out what the best
practices are. I'm thinking that it would be something along the lines of:
[Company Name].[Program Name].[Subassembly Name]...
Any suggestions?

That is a good one. Depending on the size of your company, you might
insert [Department] or [LineOfBusiness] in between company name and
program name.

It is also a good idea to name your assemblies using the full namespace
name. So, instead of having SubAssembly.dll , you would have
CompanyName.Pro gramName.SubAss embly.dll

Hi, I'm building a website in ASP.NET. I will have a default.aspx file in each directory and sub-directory of the site. What is the best / accepted way of avoiding class naming conflicts by using Namespaces. I read somewhere that each directory should have it's own namespace, but that doesn't seem right to me.... thanks -- /dave

I work in a small company with developers who do not like to use "new" features when they find the old ones sufficient. e.g. given a choice between a class and a namespace, they'll pick class. Given a choice between naming functions at the global scope with subsystem prefixes (e.g. CTNode, CPNode) vs. namespaces (Time::Node, Place::Node) we'll use the global namespace. Prefixes they understand, and prefixes are short and do the job. ...

http://www.JavascriptToolbox.com/bestpractices/ I started writing this up as a guide for some people who were looking for general tips on how to do things the 'right way' with Javascript. Their code was littered with document.all and eval, for example, and I wanted to create a practical list of best practices that they could easily put to use. The above URL is version 1.0 (draft) that resulted. IMO, it is not a replacement for the FAQ,...

In my XML instances I want to use the XLink namespace for attributes on certain elements. I'm having quite a hard time determining how to reflect this properly in my DTD and XML instances. In my instance, to declare the namespace, I have this on my root element: <root xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> ... <mylink xlink:href="http://foo.com"> ....

I believe Balena's Best Practices book suggests grouping quite a few classes into each namespace. I don't remember a number, but this has me curious about how other programmers handle this. If classes are obviously related, then I use the same namespace. Problem is that this doesn't seem to happen often. I could understand Balena's numbers in the context of a specific library, but in the scope of a large program, many corners are...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
