Object Naming Conventions
Finding a set of naming conventions—and sticking to it—is one of the keys to successful development in Access or any other programming language. When you're choosing a set of naming conventions, look for three characteristics: Ease of use, Readability, Acceptance in the developer community.The naming conventions that I use in this book were derived from the Leszynski/Reddick naming conventions that were prominent in Access versions 1.x and 2.0. These standards were adopted and used extensively by the development community and can be found in most good development books and magazine articles written in the past few years. These conventions give you an easy-to-use, consistent methodology for naming the objects in all these environments. Appendix A, "Naming Conventions," is available for download at www.samspublishing.com and includes a summarized version of the conventions for naming objects. I'll be using them throughout the book and highlighting certain aspects of them as they apply to each chapter.
How Do I Get Started Developing an Access Application?
Many developers believe that because Access is such a rapid application development environment, there's absolutely no need for system analysis or design when creating an application. I couldn't disagree more. As mentioned earlier in this chapter, Access applications are deceptively easy to create, but without proper planning, they can become a disaster.Task Analysis
The first step in the development process is task analysis, or considering each and every process that occurs during the user's workday—a cumbersome but necessary task. When I started working for a large corporation as a mainframe programmer, I was required to carefully follow a task analysis checklist. I had to find out what each user of the system did to complete her daily tasks, document each procedure, determine the flow of each task to the next, relate each task of each user to her other tasks as well as to the tasks of every other user of the system, and tie each task to corporate objectives. In this day and age of rapid application development and changing technology, task analysis in the development process seems to have gone out the window. I maintain that if you don't take the required care to complete this process at least at some level, you will have to rewrite large parts of the application.This material orginally appeared in Alison Balter's book Mastering Microsoft Office Access 2007 Development.
