What would the naming convention of do-something be called? closed as primarily opinion-based by MichaelT, jwenting, david.pfx, Bart van Ingen Schenau, Dynamic Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. Delimiter-Separated which could also use the underscore (Delimiter_Separated).A common recommendation is "Use meaningful identifiers." A single word may not be as meaningful, or specific, as multiple words. Consequently, some naming conventions specify rules for the treatment of "compound" identifiers containing more than one word.
As most programming languages do not allow whitespace in identifiers, a method of delimiting each word is needed (to make it easier for subsequent readers to interpret which characters belong to which word). One approach is to delimit separate words with a nonalphanumeric character. The two characters commonly used for this purpose are the hyphen ("-") and the underscore ("_"); e.g., the two-word name "two words" would be represented as "two-words" or "two_words". The hyphen is used by nearly all programmers writing COBOL, Forth, and Lisp; it is also common for selector names in Cascading Style Sheets. Most other languages (e.g., languages in the C and Pascal families) reserve the hyphen for use as the subtraction infix operator, so it is not available for use in identifiers and underscores are therefore used instead...

I call it lisp-case for lack of a better term, and for a lack of seeing it used much (if ever) in other language families.
There isn't really a specific standard name for this case convention, and there is disagreement over what it should be called. Lisp has used this convention for decades as described in this Wikipedia entry. For that reason, Keith Layne's answer of lisp-case is reasonable, though it's an original coining. And according to this Wikipedia entry, it may also be called spinal-case or kebab-case (and the upper case version called Train-Case). All of these forms have also been contested as original coinings. So there isn't a single widely-accepted name for this case convention analogous to snake_case or camelCase, which are widely-accepted. I like "caravan case", because it looks like tokens chained together in a caravan. You can even picture a caravan of camels if you like. Dasherization, usually used for URLs or other human readable cases. The only time I see naming like that is for SEO purposes, so maybe SEO-case? In any event, it's not a good naming convention to use.

Answer: Throwing a Lego Ninjago birthday party for your son and his friends! Jen Carver here from Banner Events, and I cant wait for you to see my sons ninja party inspired by incredible graphic designs from Maureen, of Anders Ruff and the party she styled for her own son a couple of years ago. It was a fun challenge to dream up new party decorations, activities, favors and Ninjago inspired treats! Just wait until you see the cake, cupcakes and cookies! Get ready for all of the action packed details captured by the talented Karina Rigtrup of A Fresh Take Photography. To kick off the excitement for my sons Lego Ninjago inspired birthday party, we hand-delivered colorful invitations with coordinating return address labels designed by Anders Ruff Custom Designs. Youll notice lots of Asian inspired details and just a hint of Lego Ninjago.
Kids were invited to the Carver Dojo to celebrate. I love setting the stage for an awesome event by sending out a high impact invitation! My favorite part of planning the whole Lego Ninjago birthday party was designing a fresh, new take on the Ninjago inspired dessert table. My son had recently received a Lego Ninjago temple building set which served as inspiration for my pagoda style dessert table backdrop which Anders Ruff so skillfully designed for me. I used my go-to printer, Print My Picture Online, to help make my vision come to life in an oversized, large format way! I framed the pagoda with black curtains and flanked each side of the table with tall dried bamboo plants. Using DIY wood stands recycled and repurposed from a previous party, I propped up the plants to give height to my table design. To add some pops of color, I added a printed Asian inspired birthday banner and vibrant table runners. Coordinating a variety of impressive sweets for the dessert table was a lot of fun.
I am fortunate to know the best of the best when it comes to creators of gorgeous sweets and treats. Christina Goff of 4 Kids Cakes is my favorite local cake designer. After sharing some simple ideas for the cake, she pulled a few of her own ideas out of her creative head and designed another masterpiece. Just look at the detail workall edible! From fondant throwing stars, a ninja knife, bamboo and even a Ninjago guy, the details blew the socks off our little ninjas-in-training. Because cupcakes are a staple at my parties and a quick and easy way for younger guests to have their cake and eat it too, 4 Kids Cakes baked up and frosted cupcakes topped with the crazy cool fondant work by Lynlees (I kid you not, some guests saved their topper as a take home souvenir!). I reached out to a talented local bakery owner to create custom cookies for the party. Sweet Themes Bakery blew me away with some of the most detailed cookies Ive ever seen! The variety of cookies inspired by the Anders Ruff printable designs was phenomenal.
Imagine throwing stars, dragons, ninjas and more, many personalized with guest names. To add a little candy treat to the dessert table, I incorporated candy bob creations from Sweets From Heaven, Outlets at Orange. Wynter crafted impressive Ninjago inspired treats using candy. One final Ninjago inspired treat was the chocolate covered Oreos by Bellas Bakery and Bowtique. Styled on a bed of edible lime green Sixlets, they made for a colorful and popular display! In addition to some Lego Ninjago specific treats, I also wanted to bring in an Asian flair via my dessert choices. I invited the talented Vypassetti Cake Pops to create sushi inspired cake balls, which she did so masterfully. These were displayed in white Asian style tasting spoons and small sauce dishes. I also had Vy create cake pops inspired by the Ninjago characters themselves. The likenesses were incredible! The inspiration for the main dining area was an Asian restaurant. I brought in Asian screens and lanterns in party colors to achieve this look and vibe.
To reinforce the mood, I brought in a large artificial bamboo tree. Setting the ninja inspired table was another favorite of mine. I added texture to the top of a bright red tablecloth by way of bamboo placemats set at each place. I layered red and black acrylic plates, accented with yellow napkins and small Asian sauce cups filled with fortune cookies. Lime green napkins, custom labeled chopsticks and containers of caramel corn, embellished with a printable party logo, completed the look! French milk bottles from Smash Cake and Co. were on hand for thirst quenching refills and looked festive dressed in custom beverage wraps and flag topped paper straws from Hoopla Events. Instead of traditional name place cards, Sweet Themes Bakery designed adorable ninja cookies with each guests name piped on in royal icing. Attached to each chair was a ninja sword from Oriental Trading Company. Several of the place setting components came from OTC, as did the awesome pagoda style cupcake stand that served as the centerpiece for the table.
In lieu of cupcakes, I stacked green takeout containers that could be filled with treats from the piñata and our candy take out station. The printable labels were perfect! We love helping guests get into character at my parties. Guests at this ninja party were thrilled to receive custom embroidered ninja headbands and shirts designed by Brenda. Their new outfits quickly helped them take on their new ninja roles as they played with their swords and nun chucks. A candy take out table was set up in a separate room (which included more treats and several party favor items), as well as a variety of activity stations for guests to enjoy. We used the main activity table as a gathering place while waiting for guests to arrive. Each place setting included a customized activity placemat with things to color, a maze and a word find. Custom Ninjago coloring books were assembled for each child to enjoy while waiting their turn at stations. Boxes of coloring crayons were wrapped with coordinating wrapping paper and topped off with a party logo.
I also included a festive ninja plate and cup from Oriental Trading at each place setting. While this area was not the primary eating area, guests could snack at this table too. Activities were simple to plan thanks to printable games available through the Anders Ruff Ninja collection. We played a fortune cookie toss game, made by attaching a printable version of an Asian screen to foam core board and hot gluing take out boxes. Guests took turns tossing fortune cookies from Oriental Trading Company into the boxes. Next, ninjas enjoyed a Chinese star throwing contest. By far the easiest game to put together, it was also the most popular! Print My Picture Online printed the large target designed by Anders Ruff, and I adhered it to a big piece of Styrofoam. Using hard plastic throwing stars, guests aimed for the bulls-eye! In keeping with the spirit of Ninjago, guests had to engage in a little Spinjitzu battle. We set up a small table with some Ninjago characters, spinners and a battle arena and let the games begin.
