+= EdenMobile Coding Conventions =
+
+We want to follow a consistent coding style and naming conventions in EdenMobile.
+
+Everything that is not described on this page, should aim to follow the AngularJS Style Guide:
+
+- https://github.com/mgechev/angularjs-style-guide
+
+== Quotes ==
+
+In alignment with Eden conventions, EdenMobile uses ''single quotes'' for string literals.
+{{{#!js
+var aString = 'use single quotes for string literals';
+}}}
+
+== Naming Conventions ==
+
+For names of AngularJS components of EdenMobile, such as services, directives, controllers, etc we use the '''em''' prefix.
+
+Controllers use the uppercase prefix:
+{{{#!js
+EdenMobile.controller('EMSynchronisationController', [
+    '$scope', '$state', '$stateParams',
+    function($scope, $state, $stateParams) {
+
+    }
+]);
+}}}
+
+All other components use the lowercase prefix:
+{{{#!js
+EdenMobile.directive('emExampleDirective', [
+    '$compile',
+    function($compile) {
+
+    }
+]);
+}}}
+
+For all other !JavaScript, we use '''camelCase''' (or !PascalCase, respectively) - not underscores as word separator - without the em-Prefix.
+
+Classes (=constructor functions) use the uppercase !PascalCase:
+{{{#!js
+function MyConstructor() {
+    this.someAttribute = 'example';
+}
+}}}
+
+Variables, attributes, methods use the lowercase camelCase:
+{{{#!js
+var doSomething = function(param) {
+    var localVariable = param + 7;
+}
+}}}
+
+== Global Variables ==
+
+Ideally, there should be only very few global variables - wherever possible, they should be defined as AngularJS services instead:
+
+{{{#!js
+EdenMobile.value('emGlobalVariable', 'some value');
+}}}
+
+...or using the factory method, respectively.
+
+Exceptions:
+
+- the {{{EdenMobile}}} module (=the application itself)
+- {{{CordovaApp}}}, which provides access to the Cordova layer
