Quality standards

From September 2008 we enforce coding standards. Following these standards for new projects is mandatory. For existing projects adaptation to the standards is decided by the sofa coach.

• For java we use the sun code conventions for the java programming language, version 1999.
• The selected coding conventions for .NET/C# are in the .NET/C# coding standard with a local copy of version 1.15.
• For PHP we follow the zend php coding standard

Update information

We will try to keep you informed through email. We will use the email addresses in the peerassessment website (defaulting to the fontys student addresses) to inform you of updates on this website.
